This give list provides a range of not-for-profit organisations working to support people affected by the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
Sudan has been grappling with violence and displacement since the onset of the Darfur crisis in 2003. In April 2023, renewed conflict erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Since then, civilians have been caught in the crossfire of this unrelenting conflict. The humanitarian situation in El Fasher, North Darfur, has drastically deteriorated over the past few weeks. Intensified fighting culminated in the announcement by the Rapid Support Forces on 27 October that they had taken control of El Fasher. The SAF withdrew from the city shortly after.
As a result, widespread destruction has reduced entire neighbourhoods to rubble. Millions of families have been forced to flee. More than 12.36 million people have been displaced, leaving their homes behind in search of safety. There are widespread reports of executions, sexual violence against women and girls, and targeted attacks on people with disabilities.
More than 25 million people are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance – close to the equivalent of Australia’s entire population. 14 million of these are children.
A range of charitable organisations are responding to Sudan’s extreme levels of humanitarian need. While the entities listed below are all known to APS, we do not conduct a detailed analysis of their financial position and governance ahead of their inclusion in this list. All charities’ audited financials are available to view on the ACNC website.
Please note, this is not an exhaustive list of the not-for-profit organisations working in this space.
As with all emergency appeals, should a donation be received and not be needed in Sudan, the charity will apply it to similar situations around the world.
