About FACDEV

Our work is anchored in local communities across N'Djamena, the Lac region, Kanem (including Mao city), and Bahr El Gazel. We strive for inclusive and sustainable development, addressing critical needs in education, health, protection against SGBV, environmental conservation, and digital literacy.
