Each year, August 19 marks World Humanitarian Day. It is an opportunity to pay tribute to humanitarian workers who, ignoring the danger, help millions of people around the world, with a special thought going to humanitarian workers injured or killed while providing essential services and protection to people. people who need it most. Courage and altruism are their watchwords.
The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly complicated the work of humanitarian workers this year, both because it has been a barrier to accessing the needy and because it has greatly increased humanitarian needs around the world.
Active in the field of humanitarian aid and development cooperation, Morija’s objective is to help vulnerable populations, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. It provides support in collaboration with local partners who share its values.
This is particularly the case in Burkina Faso, a country plagued by jihadist violence since 2015. This violence has led to the displacement of massive communities which in turn has caused a serious security and humanitarian crisis. Morija was able to intervene quickly and become part of the system aimed at helping the displaced populations.
This would not be possible without the dedication of aid workers on the ground who deserve to be remembered on this day of August 19.
