Sudan’s Crisis: One Year of Conflict and Devastation- We Care

Since conflict erupted on April 15, 2023, between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Sudan has plunged into one of the world’s fastest-growing humanitarian crises. Over 18 million people are grappling with severe food shortages, and nearly 5 million are at risk of famine. More than 8.6 million people have been displaced, making this the largest displacement crisis globally. Families—especially children—are struggling for survival without access to food, clean water, or safe shelter.

ARAHA: Sustaining Lives, One Meal at a Time

Since 2012, ARAHA has been a lifeline for families in Sudan and the Horn of Africa. As a frontline organization with a team on the ground, we’ve delivered critical aid during times of war, drought, and famine. Now, we’re focusing on expanding our Feeding Centers, where we provide life-saving meals to families in desperate need. Your contribution can make a direct impact.

Beyond Feeding Centers: “Where Most Needed” Fund

For donors who wish to support ARAHA’s work beyond the Feeding Centers, we offer our "Where Most Needed" fund, which supports our most urgent programs. This allows us to respond swiftly to emerging crises, such as emergency medical services, non-food items like bedding and hygiene kits, or transportation costs to deliver aid to hard-to-reach areas.

• $100: Helps us meet immediate needs where aid is most critical.
• $1,000: Supports swift mobilization of medical teams, shelter, and emergency supplies.
• $10,000: Provides flexibility to tackle large-scale crises as they emerge, ensuring we can respond immediately and save lives.
