A woman in El Fasher, North Darfur, uses a Water Roller for easily and efficiently carrying water. With its large drum capacity (usually 75 litres), the device frees women and children from having to spend a large portion of every day dedicated to collecting water for their households. The African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) has distributed some 3,000 such rollers across Darfur.

18,000 more people reportedly recently arrived in Nyal payam (county) in search of safety and security due to the conflict between the South Sudan government and the armed opposition forces.

Headline The Voluntary Fund for the United Nations Decade for Women

Caption Description Disadvantaged women world-wide are locked into a lifestyle of exploitation. The Voluntary Fund for the United Nations Decade for Women, established in 1975, is trying to improve their lot through projects implemented on a village level. One such project in the Sahel is the introduction of a smoke-free, fuel-efficient wood stove for cooking. While reducing the time-consuming task of wood-gathering, it limits at the same time the severe environmental impact traditional cooking methods, where almost 90 percent of the heat is lost, have had on the drought-stricken area.
