Friends of Sudan is a humanitarian organization that operate in Sudan since 2012, born from the will of Elena Valdata, an experienced traveler and lover of Sudan, who has decided to dedicate her time and commitment to this incredible land. After her long, direct and deep experience with the Sudanese people (that still continues!), she understood their needs and decided to be actively committed to build with them solid fundamentals for their future.
From the start, the donors community have consisted mainly of touristic entrepreneurs that have being operating in Sudan for many years and they have been working alongside the Sudanese, offering support and care to the challenges that the people face. Creating Friends of Sudan, meant to continue to support the ever growing needs of the population, which now can be fulfilled with increased support from a wider community, where everyone can contribute.
Over the years we have dedicated ourselves to various projects related to education, well construction and supporting local communities. Here is a list of our projects, some completed and others that we will continue to support over time.
On April 15, 2023, a major conflict began in Sudan, which led us to focus on supporting the people of Sudan in this new emergency, where millions of people find themselves affected by the effects of war. We have published several articles where we explain what we are doing and how we can help Sudan in this tragic situation.
Our motto?
Friendship is the value that pushes us to find time, strength and money to achieve our goals.
