The campaign is publishing a series of first-person accounts of people who have been forced to flee their homes in the Central African Republic.

Augustine with her young son.

Augustine has five children and is six months pregnant. She lives in the bush not far from her home in a small village in north western CAR. Augustine miscarried her last pregnancy and is re-building her home in the village, preparing to move back in order to be nearer to hospital facilities when she has to give birth. It’s been six years since she and her family fled their house.

“If the Chadians came and shot at you, would you stay here? I think you would choose to run away from your home and save your life. We are re-building our house, we will come back to the village, life is better in the village – we can get a taxi motorbike to the town and get treatment. But the minute there is gunfire, we will go back to the bush.”
