About ADHET
ADHET is a coalition of human rights associations, individuals, defenders of human rights, and advocates for nature, dedicated to prioritizing environmental protection alongside the defense of human rights. The association comprises active and supportive members, including young men, women, and key resource individuals.
ADHET’s primary mission is to advance the causes of human rights and environmental protection. It serves as a platform for raising awareness, mobilizing citizens, and training them to adopt behaviors that promote environmental conservation. The organization also fights against legal abuses and human rights violations while promoting a culture of peace, environmental protection, and combating desertification nationwide. ADHET has established a presence in 55% of the national territory.
Their Challenges
Like many other nations, Chad is grappling with the damaging effects of climate change. Due to its geographic location, the country faces several environmental issues, including:
- Rapid desertification
- Destruction of forests and wildlife
- Limited access to information, education, and training on environmental matters
- The use of harmful, unapproved pesticides and herbicides
ADHET is dedicated to tackling these challenges and mitigating the environmental pressures Chad is experiencing.
Their Approach
ADHET employs effective techniques and approaches to help reverse Chad's environmental degradation by fostering behavioral change, shifting mindsets, and raising community awareness. Our initiatives include:
- Conducting extensive training and educational campaigns, using visual and instructional materials to highlight the importance of environmental protection.
- Raising awareness of environmental laws to ensure compliance and conservation efforts.
- Leading reforestation projects in targeted areas and managing tree nurseries, where young plants are made available to the public at subsidized prices.
Why They Need Your Help

Their impactful initiatives include engaging awareness campaigns, distributing key environmental protection resources, and leading reforestation efforts that not only restore vital ecosystems but also make affordable young plants accessible to local communities.
