KSrelief has launched a national donation campaign for Sudan to facilitate contributions by the public to support the provision of food, medical and other aid to people in need in Sudan. The campaign will collect donations through the online “Sahem” application and website, and will also accept direct bank transfers to KSrelief’s accounts. All monies donated to the center’s relief efforts reach targeted beneficiaries, as no administrative fees are deducted from the public’s contributions.
Many areas in Sudan were damaged by the torrential rains and flooding that devastated the country in September of 2020. The number of fully-damaged homes reached 55,286, while an additional 56,458 were partially damaged.
KSrelief implemented the rebuilding project in Toka in Sudan’s Red Sea state, as it was one of the areas most affected by the damage; 2,415 houses were damaged, and 12,075 people were forced to live out in the open.
