The people of Western Sahara have lived in refugee camps in the hostile Algerian desert ever since their country was invaded by Morocco in 1975. The organisation War on Want has worked with the Saharawi since 1984, providing practical support for the people living in the camps and campaigning to highlight the injustice of their situation. The United Nations promised them a referendum more than ten years ago but it still shows no sign of happening. Visit this web page by War on Want to find out how you can support the people of the Western Sahara.
