Désiré Ndoumba, a 50 yeas-old father of 8, hosted around 50 of his neighbours when the floods invaded their homes. At first they sleep in the back of his house, on a small portion of land spared by the waters. When it rained, all 50 people would fit in his house. "I can't just stare at the people staying homeless. That's why I opened my doors to them, so that they can sleep well, and that everyone has at least a small space," she says. Now only 30 people remain, and as the water level dropped, they have a bit more space to sleep. He lives in Bangui, capital of the Central African Republic.
