Zamzam Camp is for internally displaced people. Settled by the original village of the same name in 2004, one year after the violent conflict started, this camp has become the largest of many in the region and is still dependent on international aid. As a result of the fast growth the camp struggle with food and water deficiency, sanitation problems, and the lack of feeling safe. By providing the new arrivals with a starter kit with tools to build a dome and to create a livelihood and get people to come together as a community, the feeling of safeness will grow. The digging of dirt, that is needed for the domes, is creating big holes that can be developed to boulis that functions as a water collector during the rainy season and can be used for agroforestry.
