Sudan is experiencing the largest displacement and humanitarian crisis in the world.

26 million people are going hungry. Millions of people have been internally displaced. And Millions more are living in refugee camps in countries like South Sudan and Chad.

Last year, our teams supported 500,000 Sudanese people with emergency aid like:

  • clean water, sanitation and and hygiene services
  • food assistance and nutrition programmes
  • mental health support
  • protection for women and girls facing gender-based violence.

But the humanitarian crisis is worsening by the day. Famine has been declared in five regions and is expected to spread further across Sudan. People need aid more than ever.

An emergency donation can help us get Sudanese families the life-saving aid they need.

What your donation to Sudan could provide

Clean water for £21

Lack of clean water is driving a cholera outbreak across Sudan. Over 60% of water treatment facilities are out of service, leaving 24 million people without water.

Just £21 could help buy a 5,000 litre water tank so families in Sudan have clean water to drink and wash with, keeping them safe from waterborne diseases.

Malnutrition treatment for £37

The October rainy season in Sudan is expected to drive up malnutrition rates in pregnant women and children. And this year, 3.2 million children under five are at risk of experience life-threatening hunger.

Just £37 could provide specialist malnutrition treatment for a hungry Sudanese child, securing their future.

Nourishing food for £84

Foreign aid cuts have impacted critical food security programmes in Sudan. Over 26 million people are going hungry, with almost 80% of community kitchens that provide emergency help closing due to lack of funding.

Just £84 could deliver food to 100 women and children living through crisis.

The humanitarian crisis in Sudan

It’s been over two years since armed conflict escalated in Sudan.

Now over 8 million people have been internally displaced, over 4 million people have been forced to leave the country and 26 million people don't have enough food to eat.

Armed conflict and economic crisis have gutted Sudan’s essential services, with less than 25% of hospitals and healthcare facilities left. Emergency aid is severely restricted. And media access is rare.

Our teams are still working in Sudan and supporting Sudanese refugees in neighbouring countries. Your support is essential to reach more families that need emergency aid.
