In the field of humanitarian action, the organization has responded to health emergencies of various kinds: cholera (Nouakchott), floods (Hodh El garbi / Tintan), expulsions of immigrants (Nouadibou) and the response to the successive nutritional crises that the country is experiencing since 2012, among others.
