Story
After more than 500 days of war, Sudan is now the world’s largest hunger and displacement crisis. Large swaths of the country remain inaccessible to international organizations. Amidst this, grassroots civilian groups rooted in the Sudanese spirit of nafeer - collective action - are on the ground providing aid.
Sunduq Al Sudan is designed to support and amplify the lifesaving work done by mutual aid networks across the country. Modeled after alsunduq (box), the community savings groups popular in Sudan, Sunduq al Sudan collects and distributes funding to community-led initiatives.
UPDATE ON THE CURRENT CAMPAIGN:
Currently we are raising funds to support a third food distribution in Tawila.
More than 40,000 women and children have sought shelter in Tawila from the conflict in Al Fashir. Sunduq has partnered with Malam Darfur Peace Development (MDPD) to provide much needed food to displaced communities there. The money we raised has gone directly to MDPD to purchase and distribute millet from the local market.
PAST CAMPAIGNS:
- Provided $25,000 to MDPD for two food distributions to displaced communities in Tawila.
- Provided $10,000 to El Fashir Emergency Response Rooms enabling the delivery of clean water, food and healthcare.
