Our Story!

We are a group of Sudanese individuals living in the West who have had many loved ones affected by the war in Sudan. Some of our ancestral homes were looted and our loved ones living in them were displaced. We have had many family members forced to flee due to safety concerns through dangerous, strenuous, and difficult means. We have had relatives killed as a result of the direct violence occurring. We have had family members living in besieged neighborhoods where there was hardly any access to any food or water for weeks!

As Muslims, it is our responsibility to take care of our brothers and sisters struggling across the world. This is why we have decided to partner with Sadagaat to provide iftar meals this Ramadan for our brothers and sisters in Sudan!

UPDATE (March 25th, 2024): 

Alhamdulilah! Thank you for your generous donations and kind hearts. We have exceeded our target and will receive the Launchgood boost to our campaign! Through your support and others like you, Sadaggat has been able to expand its operation this Ramadan to a total of 30,000 meals a day! 

As the situation in Sudan is dire, we have decided to increase our target to $150k to provide more meals during Ramadan. So help us reach our goal and Jazakum Allahu Khairan! 

Sadagaat's Emergency Appeal for Sudan: United in Faith, Action, and Hope

The Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan

The violence that engulfed Khartoum and the Darfur region has led to catastrophic outcomes:

• 7.76 million people displaced by conflict
• Over 13,000 to 15,000 lives lost and more than 4,000 individuals injured.
• More than 18 million people facing acute hunger.
• Essential utilities like electricity and gas are in shortage, severely affecting the healthcare system.
• A looming threat of famine exacerbates the situation, with thousands displaced in urgent need of aid.

In the Blessed Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Compassionate

"And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you, and he says, 'My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous.'" (Quran 63:10)

Your Role in This Sacred Duty

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) reminded us, "The best charity is to satisfy a hungry person," (Sahih Al-Bukhari) and "The best form of charity is to give someone water to drink." (Ahmad)

Today, we are called upon to embody these teachings, to extend our hands in generosity and support the people of Sudan in their hour of need.

Sadagaat's Mission in Action

Food Security Initiatives

In response to the growing food insecurity, Sadagaat-USA has launched comprehensive food assistance programs aimed at providing immediate relief and sustainable support. Our Ramadan central kitchens are more than just aid; they represent hope and solidarity. Each kitchen will provide cooked meals, meticulously prepared and distributed by our dedicated volunteers, includes:

• Lentils
• Okra
• Wheat Bread
• Rice
• Beans
• Dates

Beyond the immediate distribution of food packages, our approach to Zakat Al-Fitr embodies the true spirit of Ramadan, ensuring it reaches those most in need, particularly in regions where food scarcity hits the hardest. Our team works tirelessly to assess the needs of each community, adapting our response to provide the most effective support.

Water Sustainability Projects

Recognizing the critical role of water in survival, health, and dignity, Sadagaat-USA's water projects are designed to address both immediate needs and long-term sustainability. Our efforts include:

• Emergency Water Supply: Immediate provision of clean and safe drinking water to communities most affected by the conflict, ensuring children and adults have access to life-sustaining hydration.
• Infrastructure Development: Rehabilitation and development of water resources, focusing on sustainable sources like the Nile, to ensure resilience against future crises.
• Community Empowerment: Establishing water committees in all project areas to foster community participation in the management and maintenance of water sources, ensuring sustainability and ownership.
• Health and Education Support: Constructing water coolers in schools within the state of Khartoum and other regions to support the educational process and enhance student health, laying the groundwork for a brighter future.
