Between January 2004 and May 2005, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) established 12 refugee camps in the border region between Chad and Sudan for Sudanese refugees fleeing the armed conflict in West Darfur. These camps are home to 250,000 registered Sudanese refugees.
In January 2008, UNHCR delivered 157 cartons of books, donated by Books For Africa, for English clubs, youth clubs, school libraries, and cultural centers to all 12 camps. The UNHCR reporting officer stated, "English is a language many wish to learn - It is viewed as a "road to freedom" by refugees from Darfur."
