Donate now to help Sudan’s children in crisis

More than 6.7 million children have been displaced by Sudan's ongoing conflict, suffering from severe hunger and a critical lack of basic healthcare. This humanitarian crisis has reached catastrophic levels, with many at immediate risk of death from preventable diseases as the healthcare system disintegrates. Your donations to Sudan can help deliver critical support and resources.

Dr. Arif Noor, Country Director of Save the Children in Sudan, highlights the urgency: "In Sudan, time is running out to keep children alive."  The crisis deepens with each passing moment. Contribute to this Sudan emergency appeal and join us in supporting those most vulnerable during this crisis.

The devastating impact on Sudan’s children

The conflict has caused a terrifying rise in Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) among children. In a South Kordofan clinic, the number of cases among children under five has increased by nearly 400% in just one year, with numbers seemingly continuing to surge.^[1] These children, without swift intervention, face a real risk of dying from otherwise non-life-threatening conditions as SAM shuts down their immune systems.

"I saw schools, mosques, and roads in cities filled with displaced people sleeping on plastic sheets without mattresses or beds,"  says Munir, a health and nutrition manager in South Kordofan. The widespread displacement has forced children to abandon their homes, their education, and any sense of normalcy. Save the Children staff have met many children separated from their parents, struggling to survive through child labour in temperatures as high as 45 degrees Celsius. These children receive crucial support through Save the Children’s case management system, but much more is needed to support the millions of children facing severe food shortages in Sudan.

How to donate to Sudan

Save the Children has worked in Sudan since 1983, and our team is currently working to provide children and families across Sudan with healthcare access, nutrition, education, child protection, and food security, as well as supporting refugees fleeing the crisis in Egypt and South Sudan.

Your support is urgently needed to help us provide the essentials children and families need to survive, such as:

• Nutrition supplements for malnourished children.
• Medical supplies, including medicines for children under five years old and emergency trauma kits.
• Mobile health clinics in the camps for displaced people.
• Ensuring children have access to safe spaces to play and learn.
