    Situation

    In Sudan and South Sudan women and girls suffer significant disadvantages in education and life chances. Illiteracy is high among women and girls, particularly those from areas of conflict such as Darfur and the Nuba Mountains in Sudan. In South Sudan, civil war has decimated education and health provision. The Covid-19 pandemic has also meant the closure of schools and universities – girls are particularly in danger of not returning to education.

    Solution

    Our basic school programme supports orphan children who would not otherwise go to school. Our adult literacy programme covers literacy, numeracy & income generation, and our eyecare outreach treats disorders preventing people from reading. We sponsor university scholarships for disadvantaged young women from displaced refugee populations. In South Sudan we are helping rebuild adult literacy and to support healthcare studies. We welcome donations that can be spread across these areas.
