From the Field
Real stories of impact, resilience, and hope from Sudan and our programmes around the world.
The ongoing conflict in Sudan has triggered the world's largest displacement crisis, yet it remains largely invisible to global media. Over 10 million people have been forced from their homes since fighting erupted in April 2023, with millions more facing acute food insecurity. We share the stories of those who have lost everything — and the communities fighting to rebuild.
Rapid Support Forces militia attacks on villages and residential areas in Blue Nile State causing civilian casualties, forced displacement, and systematic destruction of property and infrastructure.
Freed prisoners reveal severe torture, starvation, and executions endured in rebel militia detention centers, with survivors receiving medical care at Al-Qutaynah Hospital in White Nile State.
Systematic genocide, massacres, and forced displacement through scorched earth policies in Gezira State, alongside escalating attacks on border villages in White Nile State.
A drone strike by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) targeted a civilian truck on the road between Abu Zabad and Al-Fula, resulting in numerous fatalities among unarmed passengers traveling to a funeral.
A press statement from Hassan Baseer of the Sudanese Green Crescent documenting systematic attacks on civilians, mass displacement, and the urgent call for international action.

Schools across Sudan's conflict zones have been bombed, looted or occupied. With an estimated 17 million children now out of school, a generation is at risk of losing years of education. Our teams on the ground are running makeshift classrooms in tents and community centres, reaching over 2,000 children in the past six months. Meet the teachers who refuse to give up.
Even in the harshest conditions, young Sudanese are organising, leading and inspiring. In displacement camps across Chad, Egypt and South Sudan, young people trained through our Youth Leadership programme are running community kitchens, mediating disputes, and providing emotional support to traumatised families. This is the generation that will rebuild Sudan.
UNICEF estimates that over 3 million children in Sudan are suffering from acute malnutrition, but the psychological wounds may last even longer than the physical ones. Nightmares, withdrawal, and aggression are common in children who have witnessed violence. Our psychosocial support programme is working with trained counsellors to help children process trauma and find pathways back to childhood.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we've distributed emergency food parcels to 1,800 families in the past month, provided clean water access to six camps, and supported 400 children with psychological first aid. Here is a transparent breakdown of exactly where every pound goes — and the faces behind the numbers.
When airstrikes hit her neighbourhood in Khartoum, Fatima gathered her four children and walked. Over three weeks and more than 300 miles, she crossed checkpoints, sheltered in schools and mosques, and carried her youngest on her back. Today she lives in a camp in Chad, waiting to go home. 'I left everything,' she says. 'But I still have my children.' This is her story.
Many people want to help Sudan but aren't sure where to start. We've compiled a practical guide: how to donate effectively, which organisations are operating on the ground, how to advocate with your MP, and how to raise awareness in your community. Every action, large or small, matters when a country is in crisis.
Over 70% of hospitals in conflict-affected areas of Sudan are no longer functioning. Doctors and nurses have fled, medicines are exhausted, and patients die from conditions that would be easily treated in peacetime. Our healthcare programme is operating mobile medical units reaching remote communities, but the need vastly outstrips what we can currently provide.
We are delighted to open applications for our 2025 Youth Leadership Summer Programme. This intensive programme supports young people from the Sudanese diaspora aged 16–25 to develop leadership skills, community organising knowledge, and a deeper understanding of Sudan's history and future. Places are limited — apply now.
We sat with residents of a displacement camp in eastern Chad and simply asked them to speak. What they shared — stories of lost homes, separated families, vanished livelihoods, and stubborn hope — is something every person concerned about Sudan needs to hear. Their voices deserve a platform. We are honoured to share them.
More than 200 people attended our community fundraising evening in Glasgow last month, raising over £8,000 in a single night. Speakers included Sudanese community members sharing first-hand accounts of the crisis, alongside medical and humanitarian experts. The event was a powerful reminder of how much the diaspora and allies care. Thank you to everyone who came.
The UN has declared famine in parts of Sudan — the first famine declared anywhere in the world in years. With agricultural land destroyed, markets collapsed, and aid convoys blocked, millions face starvation. Yet international headlines remain focused elsewhere. We're calling for urgent action and sharing the facts the world needs to hear.
Our annual fundraising gala brought together over 150 supporters and raised £15,000 to fund educational resources and safe learning spaces in Sudan.
Our emergency relief team successfully delivered food packages, clean water and hygiene kits to over 200 displaced families in the Khartoum region this month.
Thirty young Sudanese leaders have been selected for our flagship mentorship and skills programme, with support from partner universities across the UK.
