History
The natural and man-made calamities such as wars made women and children more abandoned in most countries in Africa. The effect of these man-made and natural problems forced the people to live in a vicious circle of poverty. Women and children especially orphans and widows in Southern Sudan are vulnerable to various calamities. This has become a particularity in Sudan and generality in Africa. The project will address major problems that affect the survival and development of women and their children.
Project Vision
Empowering Girls and Women through Practice of All Rights. With an objective to work with rural girls and women in establishing sustainable enterprises, Our commission is to ensure that Sudanese girls and women become custodians and ambassadors of Sudan resources and heritage that which is vital in keeping Sudan at peace and developed. We do this by encouraging girls and women and others that consider themselves as friends of Sudan having traveled to Africa as tourists, missionaries, businessmen or diplomats to play a significant role in rebuilding Sudan from the menace of war, poverty, HIV/Aids, illiteracy etc.
