Helping Darfur Communities Thrive
The war in Sudan has had a catastrophic impact on the mental health of children and their families, exposing them to loss, deprivation, and violence on a harrowing scale. Without proper intervention, these wounds can perpetuate violence and suffering in the region.
Our programs offer a sustainable pathway to recovery, empowering beneficiaries with the tools needed to author their own healing, break the cycle of violence and lay the foundation for lasting peace.
Our Commitment
Local. Sustainable. Scalable.
Led by locals who understand the culture and context of project areas
Designed to be sustainably accessed, implemented and shared
Scaled through a training of teachers and facilitators program
