Nearly three years of conflict in Sudan have forced millions of children from their homes, leaving families without food, safety or healthcare.

Children are being killed, injured and exposed to grave violations of their rights as violence continues across the country.

The crisis is devastating:

30.4 million people—including 15.6 million children—urgently need humanitarian aid. A shocking 11.6 million children are experiencing crisis levels of food insecurity. Yet, this crisis is severely underfunded, and aid access is dangerously limited. Despite its scale, Sudan is being forgotten. We must keep talking about Sudan and demand urgent action. 

For two years, millions of children have had their lives torn apart. Homes, schools, and hospitals have been bombed. Families have been separated. Children face hunger, violence, unimaginable loss and physical and emotional distress, and violations of their rights. The world cannot look away. 

Children in Sudan need immediate protection, lifesaving aid, and a future beyond the conflict. Donate now to help us respond quickly to support children like Fatima*, living in countries such as Sudan and across the world.

Save the Children has worked in Sudan since 1983. As one of the largest NGOs in Sudan, we provide a range of services supporting children to access health, nutrition, water and sanitation facilities, education, child protection and food security and livelihoods support. We are currently working with 25 local partners in 12 out of the 18 Sudanese states, and we’re also providing critical support to children who have fled to neighbouring South Sudan and Egypt. 

We have rapidly scaled up operations across Tawila and Jabal Marra since the siege began in April 2024 to meet the needs of newly arrived children and their families. We’ve reached over 224,000 displaced people:
 

We’re operating four health facilities and an expanding mobile health services in Tawila and across North Darfur, while in Jabal Marra, we’re operating seven health facilities and three mobile clinics.

We are providing emergency shelter, food, water, and hygiene supplies for newly displaced families.
 

We have been scaling up operations but we need a rapid escalation in funding to meet the increasing needs now. Our teams are working under extreme conditions and urgently require more support to save lives.

The safety and wellbeing of everyone in Sudan is our priority, especially vulnerable children.  Please join us and donate to protect children like Fatima* in Sudan and across the world:
