Country: Sudan

Sudan

March 19, 2006

In the country's semi-autonomous south, we're building a network of local organizations that are helping their communities rebound from Africa's longest civil war.

These organizations are filling essential social-service needs by teaching adult literacy, caring for orphaned children and offering HIV/AIDS counseling, among others. Combined with Mercy Corps programs to build roads and community centers, electrify village markets and expand opportunities for farmers, we're laying the groundwork for long-lasting peace. More than 69,000 in southern Sudan benefit directly from our work.

Until early March, when the Government of Sudan revoked its registration in north Sudan, Mercy Corps also aided 200,000 Darfurians displaced from their homes by violence — by keeping camps clean, training health promoters, building and supplying schools, and providing skills training to women and other vulnerable people. Mercy Corps is appealing the decision.
