Chyron:

M.I.
Koro Project Coordinator

Subtitles:

It is an emergency project whose
strategy is based on four main axes:

mobile or “One Shot” clinics,

the care of
war wounded,

mental health activities
and integrated protection.

TEXT:
In the circles of Koro and
Bandiagara civilians are
abused and caught in fighting

They have very little access
to basic social services
like health care

Chyron:

I.M.
Assistant Field Coordinator

Subs:

We are there as part
of One Shot activities.

We take part in
mental health activities

because there are people
who are really traumatized

after this situation.

We also have
an awareness team

who will raise awareness in those displaced
regarding certain diseases.

The team will increase awareness in the displaced

because the hygienic conditions
are deplorable.

There is also
a protection team

who works with the displaced.

We give the vaccination,

perform curative consultations

Some women have lost
their husbands during the conflict

and no longer have anyone
to help them.

They are pregnant, hungry

and the care we give
is insufficient.

Chyron:

A.D.
Obstetrician nurse

Subs:

We help them to give birth but after,

they have no food
or clothes to change.

It's hard. As a woman,
I know it is not easy.

Chyron:
A. Y.
Médiateur Culturel Projet Koro

Subs:

MSF's work is caring for the sick.

But for protection, we do advocacy

with other partners.

They are the ones who will really
plead the cause of these people

All activities target
three major groups:

internally displaced persons, IDP,
returnees and refugees.
 
And also the victims
of intentional trauma

and isolated populations.

Our biggest challenge
is getting access

to these populations
to conduct our business well.

Despite all this,
in some areas,

there are movements
of armed groups

which make access more complicated.
