This Amazing Emirati Raised Funds To Help 10 Million People In Chad
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.
