This is a joint statement by Save the Children International and the National Council for Child Welfare

Save the Children and the National Council for Child Welfare are horrified at the new wave of intercommunal violence in Geneina, West Darfur, which has led to at least 87 deaths and 191 injuries in the past days.

When it comes to health and nutrition, Save the Children supports 121 Primary Health Care Facilities across Sudan.
In Kalamendo locality in North Darfur alone, we support 14 facilities funded by the European Union Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid, where we provide health and nutrition services to children and mothers. Take a look at the photos that tell their stories.

With being an Internally Displaced Person, comes a set of struggles in receiving basic needs in everyday life. Being an IDP mother of children – especially those Under 5, who are more prone to illnesses – who has access to healthcare can help overcome health problems and prevent many from happening in the first place.

When it comes to the theme of women in leadership and building a future in a COVID-19 world, Alaa Basheer, Child Protection and Child Rights Governance Program Manager at the Sudan Country Office comes to mind. What motivates her to lead the way, be at the frontline of responses and making a difference in the lives of children?
