Dear Darfur Women Network Family,
On behalf of the Darfur Women Network, DWN, I would like to express my gratitude for your kind support, passionate commitment, and your generous donation. Without your contribution, the DWN cannot provide high-quality services to displaced and vulnerable families in the camps in Darfur, Sudan.
In 2023, we renewed the registration of the Darfur Women Network in South Darfur. The DWN has prepared for its next operation year to expand its economic empowerment for women/soap-making projects. We purchased the raw materials from the capital of Sudan, Khartoum, to be shipped to our operation center in Darfur, but the fighting has started. I hope that our order is safe.
The fighting between two armed forces that was started on April 15th, is still going on.
• At least 427 people have been killed and over 3,700 injured due to the conflict.
• Prices of essential items are sharply increasing due to shortages.
• At least 11 health facilities have been attacked and many are no longer functional in Khartoum and Darfur States.
• Civilians are fleeing areas affected by fighting, including to Chad, Egypt, and South Sudan.
• Several humanitarian organizations have evacuated or relocated their staff from locations where operations are not currently feasible.
Displacement of civilians has been reported in the capital of Sudan and in Darfur.
We hope for peace and stability soon and assess the need of people and work with our volunteers to serve our people who are affected by the consequence of the fighting. We praying for the safety of our volunteers, beneficiaries, our guard, and the women’s center. We don’t have information due to the absence of the Internet and communication as well as the insecurity situation.
We appeal to you to extend a helping hand to provide food, medicine, and relief supplies for our people in Sudan. We ask you to pray that God lifts this disaster from our country and people as soon as possible, and we appreciate all your support. May God bless your heart.
