Support our Sudan Appeal
Sudan is the world’s largest internal displacement crisis, and children are paying the highest price. Over 17.3 million children in Sudan need humanitarian assistance.
Relentless attacks on hospitals, schools, water and power supplies have left children and families without access to basic needs such as food, clean water, and health services.
Famine was confirmed in parts of North Darfur and the Nuba Mountains in 2025, placing families there in a critical situation.
UNICEF is responding to this crisis, delivering life-saving supplies and support to children and families.
You can help children by donating just £10 a month, over a year, to bring three severely malnourished children back to health.
Please donate to our Sudan appeal today.
How is UNICEF supporting children in Sudan?
We’re working with partners and communities present in Sudan to respond to critical needs in health, nutrition, protection and more.
Some of the types of support we have recently provided include:
- Securing over 3 million vaccine doses for hard-to-reach areas of Dafur and Kordofan
- Screening over 5.5 million children for acute malnutrition
- Admitting over 287,344 children with severe acute malnutrition for health screening
- Reaching 1.1 million children, adolescents and caregivers with mental health and psychosocial support
As the conflict continues to devastate communities, children are increasingly at risk of malnutrition, disease, exploitation, and long-term disruptions to their education.
We must do everything we can to reach children and families in Sudan with life-saving support.
“My son eats and drinks very little. He has no appetite,” says Naba, mother of 7-month-old Adnan who is severely malnourished.
At Eid Hussein nutrition site, Adnan is receiving treatment. “The health workers have taken good care of my child, starting from measuring his weight and height. They also gave him ready-to-use-therapeutic food."
Now that health facilities are open and services available, Naba is relieved that her child will get the treatment he needs to recover.
How to donate to Sudan
One of the best ways to donate to Sudan is through a monthly direct debit.
A monthly donation enables us to provide continuous support to children when they need it most, through nutritious food, access to healthcare and safe spaces. Children should not have to live in fear of hunger or conflict.
However you choose to donate, your donation will make a difference to the lives of children in Sudan.
Can I make a one-off donation?
If you prefer to make a single one-off donation, you can select this option on the donation form on this page or over the phone. £20 could provide 6 cans of high-energy therapeutic milk to treat children with severe acute malnutrition.
Donating to Sudan by phone
If you’re in the UK and would prefer to make a donation by phone, you can call our dedicated donation line: 0300 330 5699.
For the first 3 months, monthly donations made to this appeal will go towards funding our work to support children in Sudan. After that, donations will go to support our work around the world. Any Gift Aid claimed on donations made to this appeal will support UNICEF’s work around the world.
In the unlikely event that the funds raised exceed what’s needed for the Sudan emergency appeal, or if funds cannot viably be directed to this appeal, we will direct funds to support our work to help keep children safe and healthy around the world.
7-month-old Zahara is severely malnourished. “I came here because my child is thin," says her mother Hadiga.
Zahara is enrolled in a UNICEF-supported nutrition programme where she is provided with treatment including ready-to-use-therapeutic food, a nutritious formula that helps malnourished children recover.
