Dear Darfur Women Network Family;

On behalf of Darfur Women Network (DWN), I would like to express my gratitude for your kind support and your generous donations! Thank You! Without your generous donation, DWN couldn’t serve the survivors of genocide and their families in displaced camps in 2021.

On March 28.2023, DWN shared with you its enthusiastic news about its plan to provide a technology Literacy program and vocational training for young people from displaced and vulnerable families to help them with capacity building, job opportunities, and worldwide connections. We were ready to start our computer literacy in May 2023 at Computer Institute in South Darfur.

The computer training includes the following:

• Microsoft Office
• Internet.
• Resume writing.

This project aims to provide a technology Literacy program and vocational training for young people to help with capacity building, job opportunities, and worldwide connections to empower youths to use technology to improve their lives and their families’ livelihoods.

Our target groups are youth from families:

 1- Can’t afford technology training.

2-     Lacking electricity, internet, and a computer at home.

3-  Displaced, poor, and vulnerable.

However, in April 2023, our activities stopped due to fighting in Sudan's capital continues and extended over into the western Darfur region and risks in the current conflict in Sudan, which began in April between the Sudanese government and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) — a paramilitary group known as Janjaweed — have been competing for power

Many cities across Darfur, such as El Geneina, Kutum and El Fashar, Nyala(Where DWN is registered as a nonprofit and its community center is located). The civilians have suffered heavy military violence and fighting

Everyone in Darfur knows how brutal the RSF can be, the killings, massive destruction of governmental, business, nonprofit organizations, and individual property and food reserves, looting, and raping as well as hijacking many vehicles and occupation of civilians’ homes.

This fighting also has an ethnic component and warns (genocide looks to be resumed on a very large scale).

A widespread communications blackout Darfur region has made it almost impossible to contact sources on the ground. As a result, I haven’t communicated with my own family for two weeks so far. I call everyone from my family, friend, and network, but the response is the same. I feel desperate and heartbroken about the insecurity situation there. 

Many families have been displaced including some of mine. People are under house arrest because they are terrified to go outside, and they have no access to food, hospital, or work to have income to survive. They are in dire security and humanitarian need.

our clients arein danger, our community center has closed and the Darfur Women Network sign has moved from the front to keep it inside the workplace room. We have no information about our center and our clients, yet.

However, the DWN provided food for 132 displaced families who are living in a school near my family home.

Please, pray for us to have peace to save the lives of innocent Sudanese.

Thank you
