The country is on the verge of famine Children are now dying of hunger and Islamic Relief staff are seeing a rapid increase in the number of malnourished children in the health and nutrition centres it supports, including some so emaciated they can barely breathe.

We are recognized by numerous accreditation organizations and affiliations, including Charity Navigator, Platinum Transparency 2023, Google Nonprofit Certified, and Facebook Nonprofit Approved.

Living conditions There are few large towns in southern Sudan and most people live in small villages in round, thatched houses. Most do not have electricity. People herd cattle at riverside camps in the dry season and grow millet and other grains in fixed settlements during the rainy season.

Islamic Relief was founded in 1984, with several of our earliest projects focused on easing suffering in Sudan. In 1993 we opened our first office in the country in Khartoum.
