Sadagaat Charity Organization, with support from UNICEF Sudan, has inaugurated five e-learning centers at Shagarab Refugee Camp in Kassala State, benefiting 540 children. The centers aim to expand access to education and knowledge while supporting the development of digital skills.
The inauguration was attended by education leaders, representatives of government and security authorities, local community leaders, principals of the targeted schools, and e-learning center facilitators.
The centers provide children with an educational environment where they can continue learning, access digital resources, and develop new knowledge and skills, helping expand their educational opportunities.
The opening of these centers forms part of Sadagaat Charity Organization’s efforts, with support from UNICEF Sudan, to strengthen access to education and provide learning opportunities that respond to the needs of children in communities affected by displacement and refuge.
At the invitation of Proximate Fund Sudan, Sadagaat Charity Organization participated in “Rebuilding Sudan: Financing Community-Led Recovery,” held in New York on the sidelines of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Sadagaat was represented by Eng. Issam Ghandour, President of Sadagaat USA, and Eng. Hatim Badr, Vice President of Sadagaat Canada, who participated as speakers.
The discussion highlighted the current situation in Sudan and the evolving needs of affected communities, while sharing Sadagaat’s experience in responding to humanitarian needs and supporting community-led recovery through restoring essential services, strengthening livelihoods, rebuilding community infrastructure, and helping communities regain stability and self-reliance.
The participation also emphasized the importance of localization and the need for more flexible and sustainable funding for Sudanese-led organizations, whose local knowledge, community trust, and operational presence enable them to deliver effective and accountable responses.
The event brought together philanthropists, funding partners, foundations, Sudanese national NGOs, diaspora leaders, and localization advocates to explore how financing can better support Sudanese institutions and community initiatives.
Sudanese communities are not only surviving—they are rebuilding. Sustainable recovery must be community-led, locally owned, and supported through equitable, long-term partnerships.
Sadagaat Charity Organization, with support from UNICEF Sudan and in collaboration with the Ministry of Education in Gedaref State, conducted community awareness campaigns on the importance of education in Al-Hurriya and Wad Shabout communities in Central Rural locality.
The campaigns aimed to raise community awareness of the importance of children’s education and encourage parents and caregivers to enroll their children in available educational opportunities, with particular attention to children who have dropped out of school.
Targeting parents, caregivers, and young people, the campaigns emphasized the role of families and communities in supporting children’s education and encouraging them to continue their learning, particularly amid circumstances that may prevent them from enrolling in or remaining in school.
These efforts form part of broader initiatives to promote access to education, strengthen community participation in protecting children’s right to learn, and help reduce school dropout rates by encouraging children to continue their education.
Sadagaat Charity Organization reaffirms the importance of coordinated efforts among families, communities, and educational institutions to expand educational opportunities for children, recognizing education as a fundamental foundation for developing their potential and contributing to Sudan’s future.
Behind every e-learning center is the story of a child striving to continue learning despite difficult circumstances and challenges.
To support more children in continuing their education, Sadagaat leads an e-learning consortium across the states of Red Sea, Kassala, Gedaref, and Sennar, in partnership with CAFA, BRDO, and LMI, supporting the operation of 91 e-learning centers.
As part of this role, Sadagaat teams conducted field visits to several centers in Gedaref and Kassala to monitor implementation, engage with facilitators, and gain a closer understanding of the children’s needs and the challenges affecting the continuity of learning.
These visits provide an opportunity to stay connected to the field, understand children’s needs, and listen to those who support them throughout their daily learning journey. Sharing experiences and exchanging knowledge also help teams learn from one another and identify better ways to sustain learning in challenging circumstances.
Every piece of knowledge we share today can help shape a better learning journey for a child tomorrow.
As part of its efforts to strengthen the health system, Sadagaat Charity Organization implemented a medical oxygen distribution network at Shendi Teaching Hospital in River Nile State, with support from GiveLight Foundation through Sadagaat-USA. The project aims to strengthen the hospital’s readiness and improve the availability of medical oxygen in departments caring for patients with critical needs.
The distribution network covers the pediatric and adult intensive care units, as well as two neonatal nurseries, with a total of 45 medical oxygen outlets, enabling oxygen to be delivered directly to critical departments within the hospital.
The project contributes to strengthening the continuity of healthcare services by improving the availability of oxygen in critical care units and supporting medical teams in treating patients who require oxygen therapy, particularly children and newborns.
The project is part of Sadagaat Charity Organization’s efforts to support healthcare facilities, strengthen their readiness, and improve patients’ access to more continuous and safe healthcare services.
