As the war in Sudan broke out in May 2023, thousands of South Sudan nationals living in the neighbouring country of Sudan and in particular the capital City Khartoum were stranded and at the mercy of being killed or hurt. Unlike other nationals, South Sudan didn’t send any support to help those flee the conflict. Our founder Emmanuel Jal responded quickly to the call of those needing emergency support and we arranged private donor funding of over £14,000 as well as two grants from Choose Love which exceeded just over £22,000 to arrange private buses and security to allow those who were most vulnerable (mainly women and children) to evacuate quickly and seek refuge back in South Sudan and neighbouring refugee camps. This took place from June to November 2023.
