SDN’s contribution secured three months of operational funding, allowing the kitchen to continue serving families in the village and surrounding communities.- Safe Space for Children – Trauma Center, Adré Camp (Chad)SDN’s support also enabled the establishment and operation of a Safe Space for Children within the Trauma Center in Adré Camp, Chad. This space provides children affected by the war in Sudan with a safe environment where they can participate in activities, play, and receive psychosocial support aimed at helping them recover from trauma caused by conflict and displacement.- Medical Clinic Support – Adré CampIn addition to supporting psychosocial services, SDN also contributed to the medical clinic in Adré Camp by helping cover the cost of essential medications and medical supplies. This support improved access to basic healthcare services for refugees and displaced families who otherwise face extremely limited access to medical care.SAPA – El-Fasher Emergency ResponseSAPA’s medical and relief teams are among the few active responders in Tawila, providing emergency medical care, food, clean water, and shelter to those fleeing the atrocities in El-Fasher. With tens of thousands of internally displaced people arriving daily, their mobile clinics, emergency aid, and central kitchens are under immense pressure and urgently need support.Voice of Darfur Women (VODW): Food, Shelter, and Trauma Response training for Darfur’s uprooted.At Tulum Camp, a newly established refugee camp near the Chad border, VODW was among the first organizations to aid those fleeing violence from Zamzam Camp and Al-Fasher. Recognizing the urgent needs of displaced families, VODW distributed food, essential supplies, and rugs to help them settle under challenging conditions. Beyond material support, VODW also conducted two critical workshops on assisting injured individuals, equipping refugees with basic first aid knowledge to care for wounded community members. As one of the first responders in this camp, VODW’s presence has been vital in providing both immediate relief and long-term resilience-building for those affected by the crisis.Barana Hanabneiho Youth Organisation (BHO) – Food Packages in SudanBHO, registered with the Humanitarian Aid Commission, is running an emergency campaign to ease the suffering of displaced citizens by supplying food, water, and warm clothing.

“Due to our location and situation, other NGOs cannot reach us. Only BHO has. We all hope and wait for BHO. Thank you.”- A displaced community member in North Darfur, SudanThe Neglected Crisis in SudanSudan is facing one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. A devastating war that erupted in the capital city last year has forced millions from their homes, leaving 24.8 million people—nearly half the population—in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. Families are sheltering in schools and abandoned buildings, struggling to find their next meal. Recent flooding and disease outbreaks have further exacerbated their dire circumstances.Who We Are and Our MissionWe are Barana Hanabneiho Organisation (BHO), Arabic for “we shall build it ourselves.” Founded by university students and youth as a registered, non-political, youth-led Sudanese non-profit. We initially focused on rebuilding or rehabilitating schools in underprivileged areas of Sudan, funded entirely through our own local fundraisers and donations. When war erupted, our schools became shelters, and our mission transformed to emergency relief.To expand our impact and reach global supporters, we have partnered with the Sudanese Diaspora Network (SDN). Through this collaboration, we are able to raise funds more globally and provide support to those in Sudan who need it most.
