Child Sponsor Western Sahara

There is, in reality, no such thing as a child sponsor program in the Western Sahara, as most of the Territory's Sahrawi people are living in refugee camps in the harsh, arid conditions of the Algerian desert. For nearly five decades, generations of these children have been born into an environment defined by limited resources and continuous dependence on external aid. The remote camps struggle daily to provide basic provisions that most children take for granted. The daily reality for them is a battle against scarcity. The extreme desert climate makes agriculture impossible, ensuring that food, clean water, and medicine are constant challenges. While large international bodies provide essential logistical support, the personalised needs of individual children, adequate nutrition, school supplies, and medical care, often fall through the gaps.
