“In the Sahel region, people’s lives have been affected for decades by changes in their environment, often forcing them to leave their homes. Crises like droughts and floods can send vulnerable people in search of new, better places to survive and thrive. To survive, people may cope by moving to another place in the country or to a country nearby to support themselves and their families.”
