0 Safe Stoves for Darfur Refugee Mothers

Hello our friends,

Greetings,

On behalf of Darfur Women Network, DWN, we wish you and your loved ones a healthy and happy new year. As this year and our fundraising campaign come to an end, we hope you have been able to take time to reflect on the previous year's challenges and the progress that we've made together.

 Despite the unprecedented challenges faced this year, we are grateful that we have worked collectively, stayed strong, and remained hopeful. Thank you for your continued support and for being by our side all these years. Your commitment to our organization and its cause has showed the refugees people of Darfur that they are not alone.

 As I look back on this year, I know we have much to celebrate. We celebrate our partnership with GlobalGiving and our connection with our wonderful supporters like you. Throughout this relationship, we have received your generous donations, which enabled us to accomplish our goals despite the instable security and political situations in Sudan.

Over the past year, we provided our team in refugee’s camp with economic empowerment project to enable a group of women from Darfur refugees’ families to earn income to care for their families. Also, to provide safe stoves to refugees/ mothers for no cost to save them from rape, hostile attacks, and from intensive smoke produces from cooking process when they use traditional stoves. secure water to refugees, we appreciated your strong support.  We couldn’t have done any of this without your help.

 Moreover, DWN has supported women and children whose lives have been negatively impacted by decades of conflict in Darfur by providing hygiene items, masks, and food to survive COVID 19.

We focus on adapting means of sustainable development, and empower women to improve their livelihood. Now, we are working with our team in the refugees’ camp to assess the urgent needs of the refugees with disability to work diligently to meet that needs.

  The refugees always dream to have sustainable peace to return to their villages and to live with dignity.

We will share with you the result of the need assessment and our solution.

Thank you so much for your strong support!

Update on Safe Stoves for Darfur Refugee Mothers

Dear Donors,

The Darfur Women Network (DWN) thanks you and appreciates your generous support and commitment to helping survivors of genocide in Darfur. Your donations have help DWN to implement the Safe Stoves Project for the benefit of the survivors of genocide in Darfur, who crossed the border to live away from violence in refugees’ camps in Chad.

By the end of this month, October, the rain is likely to stop. The safe stove production group will resume their activities post that. Now, they are ready to collect the ingredient to make safe stoves.

I would like to share with you an excited news about three young students from UK University. In January, I received email from Chris, and he mentioned about two of his athlete housemates, Dom and Ed. He said, they have been looking for a challenge for February this year and came across the story of Khadegah on the following GlobalGiving page:
https://www.globalgiving.org/learn/listicle/13-powerful-refugee-stories/,
They were keen to raise money for a cause and pledged to run, cycle and row the distance from Darfur, Sudan to Chad (420 Miles) and asked if there are any ongoing projects that would be in particular need of support at this time.

I was thrilled to have young students from another country keen to support our project. Chris and I communicated, then, they decided to raise awareness and money for Darfur refugees.

The fundraiser was in February. The Title of the challenge was “Distance Challenge: A Virtual Refugee's Journey from Sudan to Chad”

The goal was to raise money for supporting safe stoves and to raise awareness for the Darfur refugee crisis.  They raised over $700, now we are ready to prepare for making safe stoves to protect refugee mothers from rape, hostile attacks, and smoke produces during cooking process.

Thank you GlobalGiving, our donors, and our wonderful students from UK university. To help us to achieve our goals.

 I sincerely appreciate your support
