Water is a precious resource. The idea of living without it can be scary.

With water levels falling around the Sahara, Emirati Anthropologist and digital storyteller Noora Al Neyadi has raised money to create seven water wells in Chad

Lake Chad is the fourth-largest lake in Africa and the seventh-largest in the world. Almost 90% of it has dried up today.

Noora went on a one-month expedition to Chad and spend her time with various tribes in the country

She had a couple of goals while on this mission:

To understand what was happening, understand the magnitude of charity work at this level, and try to come up with strategies to solve the crisis.

With her background in Anthropology, she also spent time tracking different tribes and updating their information with some bold and striking new images.

As of today, she has worked with the Emirates Red Crescent to create seven water wells that will benefit over 10 million people

Noora and her mission were featured on CNN, allowing her to raise AED1,230,455 for the cause.

She is happy to have instilled the goodness of the late HH Sheikh Zayed on an international scale.
