SAMA is raising $30,000 to secure daily fresh meals for Sudan's displaced women and children.


Our Story

As Sudan endures the devastating impacts of conflict and displacement, hunger has become a daily reality for thousands of families. The Sudanese American Medical Association (SAMA) is taking action through our Feeding Program, providing life-saving meals to those most affected. But to sustain this vital work, we need your support.

In many parts of Sudan, food scarcity has reached critical levels. Families, especially those internally displaced by war, are struggling to access even basic necessities. Through the SAMA Feeding Program, we aim to alleviate this suffering by distributing thousands of nutritious meals every day to vulnerable populations, including children, the elderly, and those fleeing violence.

The Growing Hunger Crisis in Sudan: 

The ongoing conflict in Sudan has precipitated a severe food insecurity crisis, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian situation. Since the outbreak of war in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), approximately 25.6 million people—over half the population—are facing acute hunger, with many regions at risk of famine. The war has disrupted agricultural production significantly, particularly in areas like Greater Darfur and Greater Kordofan, where cereal production has plummeted due to violence and displacement. As food prices soar, families are forced to make heartbreaking choices, such as forgoing medical care to afford basic sustenance

Humanitarian access remains severely restricted; aid convoys need help navigating conflict zones and bureaucratic hurdles imposed by warring factions, further limiting food distribution. Reports indicate that conditions in displacement camps are particularly alarming, with malnutrition rates among children reaching critical levels, highlighting the urgent need for international intervention to alleviate suffering and restore access to food and essential services.

 

SAMA’s Lifeline: Feeding Sudan’s Vulnerable Amid Crisis
In response to the escalating hunger crisis in Sudan, SAMA has successfully implemented a feeding program that provides thousands of meals daily to displaced families and the affected communities in the White Nile, Kassala, and Red Sea States. Partnering with local organizations like We Are All Values (WAV), SAMA has supplied central kitchens with food items, delivering nutritious meals to vulnerable populations, even in the hardest-hit areas. This program is a lifeline for many and reflects SAMA’s commitment to alleviating hunger.

Update: You’re Making a Difference in Sudan – Here’s How

derewd

I’m reaching out today to share an update on our ongoing response to the crisis in Gezira State and the heartbreaking displacement of families to Halfa and Gadarif. This is a situation that weighs heavily on my heart as I see the resilience and courage of people enduring hardships few of us can imagine.
 

Together with We Are All Values, who are on the ground implementing these efforts, SAMA launched this relief campaign with one goal in mind: to leave no one hungry. I am grateful and proud to share that we have already allocated $20,000 toward this mission. Thanks to your generous support, meals are now reaching families who find themselves in truly desperate circumstances—many crowded into a stadium in Halfa without the most basic necessities.
 

Our photographer has captured images that tell the story better than words alone. In these photos, you’ll see the determination of the volunteers delivering meals and, even in the midst of hardship, the relief and joy on the faces of children as they smile once again. These small moments of hope remind us of the profound difference each of you is making.
 

We reached over %50 of our fundraising target. For those who have given already, I extend my deepest thanks. Your compassion has brought us this far. As we continue, I warmly invite you to stay with us on this journey. Together, we can reach our goal and bring lasting relief to these families in need.

⁠Humanitarian Crisis in East Gezira

Since October 22, 2024, the war in Gezira State, Sudan, has tragically escalated, leading to the deaths of many and the forced displacement of hundreds of residents. SAMA condemns this violence and stands in solidarity with the affected communities during this difficult time.

In response to the crisis, SAMA’s Board of Directors held an urgent meeting today to coordinate immediate relief efforts. We have allocated $20,000 to provide critical food and healthcare services to displaced individuals who have fled to Halfa and Gadarif. Our efforts aim to offer immediate support and care to these vulnerable populations.

SAMA will hold a follow-up meeting on November 23, 2024, to review the situation and evaluate the impact of our intervention, ensuring continued assistance as needed.

 

Call to Action: We invite everyone to stand with the people of Sudan during this humanitarian crisis. Your generous donations can make a difference. Please consider contributing to help us continue providing life-saving aid.
