Response to Humanitarian Crisis

Decades of internal conflict, political instability, extreme weather events, and economic challenges have fueled Sudan's multifaceted humanitarian crisis, causing food insecurity, malnutrition, and inadequate services. Notably, Sudan accommodates both internally displaced Sudanese and refugees from South Sudan and Ethiopia. Since 2007, Zakat Foundation has been addressing food insecurity through seasonal giving food packages, medical needs with cataract surgeries, Covid-19 relief and professional development, and sadaqah jariyah through water wells.

Nourishing Families Through Food Support

Mona

Mona Abdalrazig Idres, mother of 4, was displaced from her home due to water and food scarcity and the ongoing civil unrest. Despite relocating to AlFardos , living conditions remain dire, and countless continue to lack aid. Displaced by war, families struggle for work and to bring in a steady income. Our food aid is the first to be received, offering sustenance and gratitude. Mona was given nourishing meat as part of our Udihya/Qurbani program in response to displaced families affected by Sudan's April 2023 war. The aid package included essentials such as wheat, oil, lentils, rice, and sugar.

Mohamed

After a leg injury and a month of uncertainty, Mohamed Issa Awad Allah's family survived on their remaining Ramadan supplies. Mohamed’s injury prompted them to travel to Shandi for medical help. Selling their possessions to cover the costly surgery, their lives dramatically changed. Now in Noor Eliman center, they live in a hallway with their 5 children, without food. A neighbor occasionally offers sustenance. Grateful for the food packages from Zakat Foundation, the family expressed their sincere gratitude to donors for supporting them in their time of need.
