CHILDHOOD RESCUE
SudanConflict in Sudan is starving millions of children and driving them from their homes.
Give nowThe world's largest child displacement crisis is in Sudan. Children’s lives have been turned upside down by an ongoing war between the Sudan Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces that began just over a year ago. To escape the terror, millions of women and children have been forced to flee their homes and leave everything they've ever known, including their loved ones, behind.
Right now, children caught in the Sudan conflict urgently need your help to survive. Every $1 you give will provide $6 worth of urgent support – food, water, medicine, shelter, protection and more – to children in Sudan whose lives are on the line. Give now
people have been displaced, half are children.
"With refugee families at the Sudan-Chad border, I witnessed some of the worst conditions for children's survival I've ever seen," says Edgar Sandoval, World Vision USA.
"The heat is unbearable. There is no water. There is no food. There is no shelter. You find all the things you would want to run away from, and yet people are running toward them. So, you can only imagine the violence and hunger they're running away from in Sudan.
"The suffering and desperation are at a massive scale, yet this is a crisis you hear almost nothing about. It deserves headlines. It deserves prime time. These children are precious. They deserve our attention."
A monthly gift of $20, will provide $120 worth of life-changing support to children whose lives are on the line, thanks to our partnerships with other organisations.
The situation is so hard, more than half of all people are relying on humanitarian aid to survive. Families are displaced from their lands. Now, famine and starvation are looming. We can't let another child die while the world looks away.
In crowded camps with little water or sanitation, children suffer from disease outbreaks. Medical care is hard to find.
"Children now face the threat of famine, they're displaced in vast numbers, they're out of school, and girls and boys are at risk of sexual abuse and violence," says John Makoni, National Director of World Vision Sudan. Please put your compassion into action now.
As Kiwis, we understand the significance of standing together and helping our fellow human beings, whether they’re next door or halfway across the world. Your donation to Childhood Rescue will help children in Sudan and other dangerous places survive, recover and build a future.
