April 15th 2024 marked one year since violent conflict broke out in the capital of Sudan that has since triggered widespread violence and instability across the country and the broader region.
Six-year-old Hassan and his family fled Sudan when war broke out. “One day an explosion hit near our home,” says his dad. Now, they’re in an overcrowded camp in South Sudan. Reeling from the shock of war, Hassan needs time to simply be a child. He comes to Save the Children’s space in the camp to make friends and join in activities. “Here I can play with toys, I can sing and dance,” Hassan says.

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. In 2023, we reached over 1.4 million people, including 979,000 children with critical assistance in Sudan.
The safety and wellbeing of everyone in Sudan and South Sudan is our priority, especially vulnerable children. Please join us and donate monthly to protect children in Sudan, South Sudan and across the world. You could give children like Hassan the chance to be children, and help protect those who are lost and alone. Can you support this vital work each month?
WHY DONATE MONTHLY TO SAVE THE CHILDREN?
1 in 6 children lives in a conflict zone, and there is no end in sight. Across the globe, children are facing starvation, poverty, fear, and the loss of healthcare and education. For children in Gaza, Sudan, Afghanistan, and around the world, surviving is just the beginning. They urgently need your help to piece their lives back together.
Through our work in 113 countries, we put the most deprived and marginalised children first, helping them survive, learn and reach their full potential. These efforts rely on your support. By donating monthly to Save the Children, you can help children get the food, medicine, and education they need to give them a chance of a future they deserve.
