in Sudan
What is happening in Sudan?
Sudan is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, and children are paying the highest price.
Relentless attacks on hospitals, schools, water and power supplies have left children and families without access to essential services.
15.3 million children require protection and emergency assistance.
Famine has been confirmed in parts of North Darfur and the Nuba Mountains.
In Al Fasher, North Darfur’s capital, 130,000 children have been trapped for over 500 days in harrowing conditions. They are facing brutal violence — including sexual violence — and extreme shortages of food, water and medicine.
Children and families in Sudan need urgent protection and humanitarian aid. Donate to our Sudan appeal today.
How will my donation help children in Sudan?
We are working with our partners and local communities in Sudan to deliver life-saving therapeutic food, water and sanitation, but we urgently need your help.
A monthly donation of £10 could provide a child with enough life-saving therapeutic food for a week.
Your donation will help us strengthen essential systems in health, nutrition, water and sanitation, child protection, and education.
In Al Fasher, ten trucks are on standby, carrying nutrition items, critical health supplies, water treatment products, and personal hygiene kits to ensure swift delivery as soon as access corridors are opened.
Donate to UNICEF UK today to help protect children in Sudan.
How is UNICEF supporting children in Sudan?
Some of the following types of support we have provided to children and families include:
- Helping over 2.3 million people access safe drinking water through water trucking, chlorination, and restoring water infrastructure in July.
- Treating over 54,000 children with severe malnutrition in July alone.
- Helping displaced and returning families with services such as communal kitchens, serving around 88,000 people every day.
- Helping more than 1.3 million children receive learning support in 2025.
The humanitarian family in Sudan is in a crisis. Some of our partners have been forced to shut down, so we are becoming the last resort. We must do everything we can to reach children and families in Sudan with life-saving support.
How to help 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 vital food, access to healthcare and safe spaces. Children should not have to live through unimaginable violence. Your donation can help protect children in Sudan.
However you choose to donate, you will be helping to make a difference to the lives of children.
How will your Sudan donation be used?
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.
The best way you can help support our emergency work in Sudan is to donate money to this appeal. Please give what you can, your donations will help us to protect children in Sudan.
