Distribution of Blankets |
|
In Djibouti, the temperature often rises up to 50 degree
Celsius during the daytime of summer season. But the majority
of the area in Djibouti is in fact a desert where it falls
quite low during the night.
Some minority people who live in the mountain, suffer
from cold weather. Since 1994, as part of a campaign,
AMDA has been providing blankets from Japan to refugees
and the local poor. Since 2002, blankets are distributed
through a network of local NGOs who know people and the
area especially in the mountainous region of the country.
In the year of 2007, 10,000 blankets were distributed. |
