Support the Sudan Emergency Response Campaign

The recent conflict in Sudan has created a dire humanitarian crisis, displacing thousands of people and severely impacting communities. Local Refugee-Led Organizations (RLOs) are on the front lines, providing life-saving support to those affected by the violence. However, these RLOs face significant challenges due to limited resources and the urgency of the situation.


Cohere Charity through the Reframe platform, has partnered with dedicated community-based organizations to launch the Sudan Emergency Response Campaign. Our goal is to secure flexible funding to enable these RLOs to respond swiftly and effectively to their communities' escalating needs. Your generous contributions will directly support emergency interventions such as:


  • Provision of Essential Supplies: Delivering food, clean water, and medical supplies to displaced families.
  • Shelter and Protection: Ensuring safe housing and protective services for vulnerable populations, including women and children.
  • Healthcare Services: Facilitating access to essential healthcare, mental health support, and trauma counseling.
  • Community Rehabilitation: Supporting long-term recovery and resilience-building efforts within affected communities.

By donating to this campaign, you will empower local organizations with the flexibility they need to adapt and respond to the evolving crisis. Every contribution, whether large or small, can make a significant impact on the lives of those suffering in Sudan. Together, we can provide the urgent support needed to save lives and rebuild communities.

Data insight 2:

The Sudan crisis and the worsening impact of climate change have exposed over 25 million forcibly displaced persons across Sudan, South Sudan, and Chad to the risk of hunger, malnutrition, and starvation due to ongoing drought and conflict.

Data insight 3

The vast majority (over 83 percent) of those fleeing South Sudan are women and children, with children making up 65 percent of the total South Sudanese refugee population. They are survivors of violent attacks, sexual assault and, in many cases, children have been separated from their parents and are traveling alone.

CONTEXT & CHALLENGES

The ongoing conflict in Sudan has created numerous challenges for Refugee-Led Organizations (RLOs) like Hope Relief and Rehabilitations for Disabilities Support (HRRDs), I Can South Sudan (ICSS), Root of Generations (RoG), and Rise Initiative for Women’s Rights Advocacy (RIWA). These organizations are pivotal in providing emergency support but face significant obstacles:


HRRDs: Operating from the Nuba Mountains, HRRDs struggle with limited access to basic supplies such as food, water, and medical resources. The remote and dangerous terrain makes it difficult to deliver aid promptly, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

I Can South Sudan: In Gorom refugee camp in South Sudan & focused on promoting access to education for the children and the youth, I Can South Sudan faces growing challenges in maintaining educational programs amid the conflict. The instability has disrupted schooling, leaving children and young adults without access to education and safe learning environments.

Root of Generations: In Gorom refugee camp in South Sudan, Root of Generations faces severe overcrowding and sanitation issues. The influx of displaced people has seriously overwhelmed their capacity to provide adequate learning resources, food, shelter, and essential services to the already vulnerable and affected populations.

RIWA: Working with women and children, RIWA struggles with a surge in gender-based violence cases. The organization is under-resourced to provide the necessary protection and support services, leaving many survivors without help.

These RLOs urgently need flexible funding to overcome these challenges, ensure effective response, and support the most vulnerable populations in both Sudan and South Sudan. Your contributions can help these organizations deliver life-saving aid and long-term solutions amidst the crisis.

Story of change

Umma Mohammed [pictured], is just nine years old, and is now living in Gorom Refugee Camp near Juba. When the war spread to the Darfur region in Sudan, her family fled across the border to South Sudan. Devastatingly, they lost fifteen members of their family on their journey. ICSS was able to provide her family with emergency food and non-food rations but definitely more needs to be done to improve her current situation.

Success Story of Linda Saima Jackson: A Journey of Resilience and Empowerment Linda, a widow and mother of five, faced unimaginable challenges after losing her husband in the 2013 war in South Sudan. Left to care for her children alone, she fled to Kenya in 2016 and sought refuge in the Kalobeyei settlement. Life as a refugee brought with it harsh weather, limited access to water, and no clear path to economic stability. Without any formal skills, Linda struggled to find a way to provide for her family. In 2019, everything changed when Linda crossed paths with the Community Centre for Excellence (CCE). "Thanks to CCE for looking into the lives of vulnerable women like us," she says. CCE provided her with an opportunity to learn dressmaking and tailoring, a life-changing experience that helped her gain new skills and envision a brighter future. Her determination paid off, and CCE not only trained her but also linked her with partners like the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) and Swisscontact, opening even more doors for her. Today, Linda is not just a successful widow; she is the proud owner of her own tailoring shop and has secured a job to train other women. This newfound stability allowed her to open a hotel, pay her children's school fees, and provide them with a balanced diet. "I am a happy widow," she shares, grateful for the opportunities provided by CCE that have transformed her life. Her message to women is simple but powerful: "Come out of your comfort zone and search for opportunities with organizations that are ready to support and uplift you." Linda's journey is a testament to the power of resilience, skill-building, and the support of organizations like CCE in changing lives.
