Sudan (SAVE THE CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL) : Children are paying the highest price.

 

DONATE NOW

Dear friend, I´m reaching out because today marks two  years since the conflict erupted in Sudan’s capital,  Khartoum. Two years of violence, displacement, and  unimaginable suffering for children. Yet, this crisis does  not get the attention it deserves. Sudan is being forgotten... Children are paying the highest price in this conflict :  an average of one child every 10 seconds has been forced  to flee their homes since the conflict began. Sudan is now  the world’s largest child displacement crisis. Many have  nothing to return to, their towns reduced to rubble. Your support now can mean the difference between despair  and survival. Please, stand with them, donate today to  help us protect children in crises like Sudan and around  the world.

Fatima *, 11, is one of them. She was forced to flee her  home in Al-Jazirah state – one of the 18 states of Sudan -  following violent clashes. She said : "On the first day of the  attack, which was a Friday, I was sleeping at home when a  bullet went through the window". Fatima * and her family escaped to a nearby village, but  soldiers came to their house and threatened to kill them.  Her family moved through multiple villages, facing  violence, extortion, and hardship before reaching a  reception centre for displaced people in Gedaref. "I was scared that we would be killed, but my mum  reassured me. When we arrived in Gedaref, I was happy  because there were no sounds of fighting, just peace,"  Fatima * said. Save the Children provided her family with food,  blankets, mattresses, clothes, including pyjamas and  slippers. Fatima * now attends school and the Child  Friendly Space, where she’s taking part in activities such  as art, sports, and structured play, to help process her  traumatic experience, build resilience, and regain her  sense of identity and confidence. Children in Sudan need immediate protection,  lifesaving aid, and a future beyond the conflict. Will you stand with us to help deliver aid and protect  children’s lives ?
