Weaving Hope: Help Dara Development Organization Establish the Manawashi Handicraft Center in Sudan

by Dara Development Organization

Across the villages and towns of Sudan, skilled hands work tirelessly weaving, carving, stitching, and shaping. For generations, Sudanese artisans have preserved the soul of their communities through traditional handicrafts: intricate baskets, hand-carved wooden tools, vibrant textiles, and leatherwork passed down through families. These crafts are more than objects; they are living heritage, stories woven into every thread and etched into every grain .

But today, this heritage is at risk. Years of conflict, economic collapse, and displacement have scattered communities and severed the chains of craft knowledge passed from elder to youth. Artisans who once sustained their families through their skills now struggle to find materials, markets, or a place to work with dignity .

Dara Development Organization is answering this crisis. We are establishing the Manawashi Handicraft Product Development Center—a dedicated space where Sudanese artisans can gather, create, learn, and thrive. This center will serve as a sanctuary for endangered crafts, a workshop for skill development, and a gateway to markets beyond Sudan's borders.

Here, a woman who fled violence can rediscover her grandmother's weaving patterns and earn an income. A young man can learn leatherworking from a master artisan, carrying forward a tradition that might otherwise disappear. A community can see its cultural identity preserved, celebrated, and shared with the world.

The Manawashi Center will provide:

-Safe workspace for artisans to create with dignity
-Vocational training to pass skills to the next generation
-Product development support to refine designs for modern markets
-Business training to help artisans become self-sufficient entrepreneurs
-Market connections so beautiful Sudanese crafts reach buyers who will treasure them

Your support does more than build a center. It protects a culture. It empowers an artisan. It tells a master craftsperson that their life's work matters. It gives a young person not just a skill, but an identity and a future.

Join Dara Development Organization in weaving a stronger, more hopeful Sudan, one thread, one artisan, one masterpiece at a time.

Dara Development Organization Iftar Project: Emergency Food Assistance for Displaced Families in Sudan 60.000 Meals

by Dara Development Organization

In Sudan, the holy month of Ramadan should be a time of communal gathering, where families break their fast together, sharing meals outdoors in neighborhoods filled with the aroma of traditional dishes like mullah tagilia stew and fresh gurasa bread . It should be a time of hospitality, generosity, and the warmth of loved ones gathered around the iftar table.

But for millions of Sudanese families, this blessed month has become a season of hunger rather than hospitality.

Sudan is now facing the world's largest and most devastating displacement crisis, with over 12 million people uprooted from their homes . Families who once prepared ful and dates for iftar now struggle to find a single meal. Mothers who traditionally served asida to their children now watch them go to sleep hungry. Elderly individuals who remember the communal iftars of their youth now break their fast alone, with little more than bread and water .

Dara Development Organization is on the ground, working tirelessly to change this reality. Our Iftar Project in Sudan is dedicated to providing freshly prepared, nutritious hot meals to displaced families, orphans, widows, and the elderly who would otherwise have nothing to eat when the adhan calls them to break their fast.

Through our community kitchens, we prepare traditional Sudanese iftar meals—nourishing, culturally familiar, and made with care. These meals are distributed directly to families in displacement camps, vulnerable households, and community gathering points across Sudan. Each meal represents more than food; it represents dignity, compassion, and the true spirit of Ramadan.

Your support does more than feed a hungry family. It restores the beauty of communal iftar. It tells a displaced child that they are not forgotten. It allows a mother to sit with her children at sunset without the crushing weight of providing a meal she cannot afford .

This Ramadan, be the reason a family in Sudan breaks their fast with hope instead of hunger. Join Dara Development Organization in turning your generosity into warmth, nourishment, and lasting mercy.

A Hot Meal Is Hope: Help Shams Organization Feed Displaced Families in Gaza

by Shams Organization

In Gaza, the simple act of sharing a meal has become a distant memory. Families who once gathered around tables laden with traditional dishes now huddle in tents, schools, and the rubble of destroyed homes, wondering where their next meal will come from .

After more than 15 months of war, over 90% of Gaza's population has been displaced—2 million people living in makeshift camps, overcrowded shelters, and damaged buildings with no protection from the winter cold . Hospitals are shuttered. Markets are empty. And for countless families, hunger has become a daily companion.

Shams Organization is on the ground, working tirelessly to change this reality. Our Emergency Food Distribution Campaign provides freshly prepared, nutritious hot meals to displaced families across Gaza—families who have lost everything and now depend on humanitarian aid to survive .

Through community kitchens established in partnership with local volunteers, we prepare family-size meals sufficient for 3-5 persons, ensuring that each meal reaches those who need it most . Our field teams distribute these meals directly to displaced families living in tents, vulnerable households in hard-to-reach areas, and community gathering points across northern, central, and southern Gaza .

We give special priority to the most vulnerable: orphans who have lost parents to the violence, elderly individuals suffering age-related illnesses with no one to care for them, widows and single mothers struggling to feed their children, patients with chronic diseases like kidney failure and cancer, and malnourished children whose bodies are crying out for protein and warmth .

Your support does more than feed a hungry family. It restores dignity. It tells a displaced child that they are not forgotten. It allows a mother to sit with her children without the crushing weight of providing a meal she cannot afford.

In Gaza right now, hundreds of thousands of people receive hot meals daily through community kitchens like ours—each meal a lifeline, each plate a promise that someone cares .

Join Shams Organization in turning your generosity into nourishment, and nourishment into hope for Gaza's most vulnerable families.

Bring Hope to Gaza's Tables: Help Shams Organization Provide Meat & Chicken

Bring Hope to Gaza's Tables: Help Shams Organization Provide Meat & Chicken

In Gaza, a simple meal of meat or chicken—once a normal part of daily life—has become a "postponed wish and a heavy dream" for families exhausted by war and poverty . As winter grows harsher and the blockade tightens, thousands of families are surviving on canned goods and foods with little nutritional value, while children, in particular, go without the protein they desperately need to grow and stay healthy .

Shams Organization is on the ground, working to change this reality. We are dedicated to providing nutritious, protein-rich meals—including fresh meat and chicken—to families facing food insecurity across the Gaza Strip. With commercial refrigerators destroyed, storage systems collapsed, and prices skyrocketing, obtaining a complete meal has become a daily struggle between need and impossible cost .

By supporting this campaign, you aren't just filling bellies; you are fueling futures. You are giving children the strength to learn, parents the energy to rebuild, and elderly individuals the nourishment to endure with dignity. Your generosity brings the warmth of a cooked meal to tables that would otherwise be bare.

Join Shams Organization in transforming lives one meal at a time. Together, we can turn postponed wishes into reality.

Light Up Their Ramadan: Provide a Hot Iftar Meal to Gaza's Fasting Families

by Shams Organization

In the holy month of Ramadan, the streets of Gaza should be filled with the aroma of cooking and the warmth of family gatherings. Instead, for thousands of vulnerable families, the approach of iftar brings anxiety rather than anticipation. With ongoing economic hardship, relentless siege, and food prices soaring beyond reach, securing a single nutritious meal has become an overwhelming daily struggle.

Shams Organization, in partnership with the central kitchen of Tkiyet Al-Rahma, is working tirelessly to change this reality. Our Ramadan Meals Campaign is dedicated to providing freshly prepared hot iftar meals to families who have lost everything—families who would otherwise break their fast with little more than bread and water.

Through our central kitchen, we prepare balanced, nourishing meals daily using safe and high-quality ingredients. These meals—rich with the protein and warmth that fasting bodies need—are then distributed directly to targeted households and community gathering points across Gaza. We give special priority to orphans who have lost parents to the violence, elderly individuals enduring the cold alone, widows carrying the weight of their families, and households with no stable income.

Your support does more than feed a hungry family. It restores dignity. It tells a child that they are not forgotten. It allows a mother to sit with her children at iftar without the crushing weight of providing a meal she cannot afford.

This Ramadan, be the reason a family breaks their fast with hope instead of hunger. Join Shams Organization in turning donations into nourishment, and generosity into lasting impact.

A Drop of Vaccine, A Lifetime of Protection: Help Sabah Alsudan Reach 10,000 Children

In a displacement camp in North Darfur, a mother holds her baby close. She fled her village with nothing—no home, no belongings, no certainty about tomorrow. But she has hope. Hope that her child will survive. Hope that someone will reach them with the vaccines that could mean the difference between life and death.

Her name is Amal. Her baby is named Yadin, just 11 months old. When they arrived at a mobile clinic, Yadin was weak, her body tired, her eyes dull . But there, she received more than food. She received protection. Vaccines that will guard her against diseases that have stolen too many children already .

Break the Cycle: Help Sudan's Families Build Businesses, Not Depend on Aid

Break the Cycle: Help Sudan's Families Build Businesses, Not Depend on Aid

In Sudan, a hand extended for help is seen every day. But what if that hand could hold a tool instead? What if it could weave, bake, sew, or build?

For families across Sudan—especially those displaced by conflict, widows caring for children alone, and youth with nowhere to turn—poverty is not just a lack of money. It is a trap. Years of conflict, economic collapse, and displacement have stripped away not only homes and possessions but also dignity and self-reliance . Too many families have been reduced to waiting for aid, not because they lack ambition, but because they lack the one thing that could unlock their potential: opportunity.

A Pencil, A Book, A Future: Help Sabah Alsudan Send 5,000 Children Back to School

A Pencil, A Book, A Future: Help Sabah Alsudan Send 5,000 Children Back to School

In a displacement camp in North Darfur, a young girl named Fatima wakes up early every morning. She watches the other children walk past her tent, their worn uniforms clean and their secondhand books clutched tightly. She watches them disappear down the dusty road toward the school she cannot afford to attend.

Fatima wants to learn. She dreams of becoming a teacher, a doctor, something that will lift her family out of the poverty that has defined their lives. But her family, like millions across Sudan, faces an impossible choice: food or school fees, medicine or books, survival or education.

No child should have to make this choice.

From Seed to Harvest: Help Alradom Organization Empower Families to Feed Themselves

From Seed to Harvest: Help Alradom Organization Empower Families to Feed Themselves

In the villages of South Darfur, a farmer stands at the edge of his land, watching the sky for rain that seems to never come. His family is hungry. His livestock are weak. The seeds he saved from last season are gone, eaten when there was nothing else.

He does not want charity. He wants to work. He wants to plant, to tend, to harvest. He wants to feed his children with food he grew himself, with dignity and pride.

Alradom Organization believes he should have that chance.

Emergency Flood Response: Dara Development Organization's Humanitarian Intervention for 50,000+ Affected Families in Sudan

by Dara Development Organization

Sudan is facing a catastrophic flood crisis. Heavy rains have devastated communities across multiple states, with water levels in the Nile, Blue Nile, and White Nile rising to unprecedented heights . Over 50,000 families have been affected, with thousands displaced, homes destroyed, farmland submerged, and critical infrastructure collapsed . Disease outbreaks, including cholera and malaria, pose imminent threats .

Dara Development Organization (DRA) , established in 2007 and registered with Sudan's Humanitarian Aid Commission, works with communities affected by natural and man-made disasters . With experience in humanitarian response, water and sanitation, and livelihood support, Dara is launching an Emergency Flood Response to deliver life-saving assistance to the most vulnerable flood-affected families.

Sudan's Remote Communities Have No Access to Healthcare: Oxfam Mobile Clinics Are Their Only Hope

by Oxfam International

The call comes from a displaced mother in a camp with no clinic. Her child has had fever for three days. She has no medicine, no transportation, and no money. She doesn't know if her child will survive the night.

This is not one story. It is thousands of stories, repeating every day across Sudan.

Since conflict erupted, over 11 million people have been displaced . Health systems have collapsed. Hospitals are destroyed or unreachable. And in the remote camps and villages where displaced families have sought safety, there is nothing.

Malaria goes untreated until it kills

Diarrhea dehydrates children until they cannot recover

Women give birth on dirt floors with no one to help

Chronic conditions like the paralysis afflicting Tereza's son become lifelong burdens with no care

Snake bites turn deadly because no antivenom exists

Oxfam is responding, but we cannot reach everyone without you.
