Sudan Emergency Appeal
Sudan is facing one of the most severe humanitarian emergencies in the world. Years of conflict, economic collapse and displacement have left millions of people in Sudan without enough food, safe water or medical care. Families are fleeing their homes with nothing, children are going to sleep hungry, and entire communities are trapped in a cycle of fear and uncertainty.
This Sudan Emergency Appeal by Children of Adam is your chance to stand with them. Your donation can provide food, clean water, medical support and life-saving assistance to the people of Sudan who are caught in this crisis.
“The best of people are those that bring the most benefit to the rest of mankind.”
(Prophet Muhammad ﷺ – reported in Daraqutni, Hasan by many scholars)Looking to donate to the Sudan appeal? Your donation today helps families with urgent food, water and medical support.

Sudan is gripped by overlapping crises:
Conflict and displacement – Millions of people have been forced from their homes, many multiple times, seeking safety inside Sudan or across borders.
Food insecurity – Large parts of the population do not know where their next meal will come from. Crops have been lost, markets are disrupted and prices have soared.
Collapsed services – Hospitals, clinics and schools have been damaged or are no longer functioning. Many areas lack basic healthcare, vaccinations and maternal care.
Water and sanitation crisis – Families are often forced to drink unsafe water, increasing the risk of disease outbreaks.
This is not a short-term emergency. It is a deep humanitarian crisis in Sudan that affects every part of life.
Your support helps us reach some of the most vulnerable people with urgent aid.
Your support to the Sudan Emergency Appeal allows Children of Adam to respond quickly and effectively where the need is greatest.
Many families in Sudan are skipping meals or eating once a day. With your help, we can:
Provide family food parcels with staples such as flour, rice, oil, lentils and basic essentials.
Support community kitchen or cooked meal distributions where safe and possible.
Prioritise children, pregnant women and the elderly, who are most at risk of malnutrition.
Examples of how your donation can help:
£30 could contribute towards food support for a family affected by the crisis in Sudan.
£50 could help provide a more complete food parcel for a displaced family.
£100 could help us support multiple vulnerable families with essential food items.
In many parts of Sudan, safe water and shelter are as critical as food. Your donation can help to:
Provide clean drinking water through trucking, filtration or support to local systems where feasible.
Distribute hygiene and dignity kits to help families stay clean and reduce the spread of disease.
Support shelter materials, blankets, mats and urgent household items for displaced families.
Where we have access through trusted partners, your support can contribute towards:
Basic medical supplies and support to local health providers.
Treatment for common illnesses, including diarrhoea, respiratory infections and preventable diseases.
Support for mothers and children, helping them access essential healthcare and nutritional support.
Giving to those in dire need is a powerful way to draw closer to Allah.
“Whoever relieves a believer’s distress of the distressful aspects of this world, Allah will rescue him from a difficulty of the difficulties of the Hereafter.”
(Sahih Muslim)

The Sudan emergency is a severe humanitarian crisis driven by conflict, economic collapse and repeated displacement. Millions of people have been forced to flee their homes, food prices have soared, and many communities no longer have reliable access to food, clean water or basic healthcare. Without urgent support, families face hunger, disease and long-term instability.
Your donation to the Sudan Emergency Appeal helps Children of Adam provide practical support such as food parcels, access to clean water, hygiene items, shelter materials and basic medical support through trusted partners. We prioritise the most vulnerable families, including children, widows, elderly people and those who have been displaced by the conflict.

Donations given with the intention of Zakat can be used to support eligible beneficiaries in Sudan, in line with our Zakat policy.
