La fe en el Sahel
Chad is a Sahel country, the strip between the desert and the savannah. Catholics are a minority, but their faith is deep. The Virgin Mary is the mother who protects them in a country marked by conflict.
Tradition tells that during the civil war, Catholics prayed the Rosary in the shelters. The Virgin protected them from violence and gave them hope.
