In the Darfur region of Sudan more than one million Africans are fleeing for their lives.

One Fear

The people have left their homelands to escape horrible violence at the hands of government-supported militia.

One People

The Sudanese survivors have been raped, maimed, and stripped of their possessions. Their homes and farmlands have been burned to the ground.

Now, nearly one million people are on the road or are living in refugee camps – hungry, and at risk for numerous diseases.

The Christian Reformed World Relief Committee has heard the call for justice and mercy.

One Call

We participated in a delegation organised by the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB) to examine how best to meet the refugees’ needs. Now programs are being carried out to assist more than 35,000 people.

CRWRC’s first action was to develop clean drinking water and sanitary latrines, under the leadership of volunteer Lambert Hunse.

CRWRC worked with World Food Programme to provide supplemental feeding for pregnant and lactating women.

An agriculture project was carried out in partnership with the CFGB. Volunteers John and Yetty Joosse continue to manage this, and other, projects.

The project distributes vegetable seeds, hoes, and shovels, assisting the people in camps to grow their own food.

Community volunteers measure children to determine their level of nutrition.

The people were taught how to make new stoves that are cleaner and more efficient.

As part of an initiative to protect livestock, CRWRC carried out a donkey de-worming program.

Medical care is extended by a sister organisation working with CRWRC, offering health education and medical clinics.

CRWRC would like to thank you for your support in these and other programs. When we work with the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, your donations are matched by CIDA. Your financial donation goes a long way. A donation of $2 feeds a family for one month.

Thank you.
