Project Status (Final)
Current Situation
Sudanese refugee families in Kiryandongo Camp faced severe Ramadan hunger alongside unsafe and limited drinking water. Many households did not have enough staples for iftar and suhoor, forcing parents—especially mothers—to skip meals and leaving children and the elderly at heightened risk of malnutrition. At the same time, scarce or contaminated water increased dehydration and waterborne illness risk, making fasting and daily life more dangerous.
Key Challenges
Activities & Readiness (What This Microproject Was Designed to Deliver)
This microproject was designed to deliver two immediate, life-saving supports during Ramadan:
o Planned items: rice, flour, beans, cooking oil, salt
o Purpose: reduce daily hunger, help families cook consistent meals, and prevent mothers and children from going without food
o Purpose: improve access to safer drinking water, reduce dehydration, and lower waterborne illness risk—especially for children
Closing Note & Donor Direction
Because Ramadan has ended and this was a time-sensitive microproject, we are closing this campaign.
To ensure your generosity still reaches Sudanese refugee families in urgent need, we are directing supporters to our main GlobalGiving project:
Use of Funds Raised
Although this microproject did not reach its funding goal, the $6 raised will be applied to our main project, Emergency Aid for Sudanese Refugees (Project #74006), where it can contribute to ongoing, higher-impact relief activities.
Long-Term Impact (Why This Still Matters)
Even beyond Ramadan, the needs remain urgent. Reliable food support helps protect children and the elderly from malnutrition and reduces the burden on mothers who often sacrifice their own health. Safer water access reduces waterborne illnesses, medical costs, and missed school or work opportunities. These basics help refugee households stabilize and preserve dignity while they rebuild their lives.
Looking Forward
We remain committed to delivering practical, dignified support that protects health and reduces suffering. We will continue strengthening our outreach and funding approach so future time-sensitive microprojects can reach full scale and serve more families when emergencies arise.
