Sunduq Al Sudan is designed to support and amplify the lifesaving work done by civilian networks across the country.

Modeled after alsunduq (“box”), the mutual aid and community savings groups popular across Sudan, Sunduq al Sudan collects and distributes funding to community-led initiatives on the ground.

We are now raising funds to support emergency relief for those fleeing El Fashir.
