Following the Journey of Your Impact: Human Appeal Canada on the Ground in Sudan

For five days, Human Appeal Canada is on the ground in Sudan, witnessing firsthand the life-changing work being delivered by Human Appeal Sudan in communities devastated by conflict, displacement, and poverty. Leading this journey is Rania Lawendy, Senior Advisor to the CEO of Human Appeal Canada, humanitarian advocate, educator, and renowned Canadian social activist. She is joined by Muhsin Bin Yahya (The Muslim Boxer), helping share the stories, challenges, and resilience of the Sudanese people with supporters across Canada and beyond.

This visit is more than a field mission. It's an opportunity to show donors exactly where their generosity goes — from bakeries and water points to hospitals and hearing aid clinics — and the lives being transformed through their support.

Sudan's Humanitarian Crisis: A Nation in Need

Since conflict escalated in April 2023, Sudan has become the world's largest displacement crisis. More than 14 million people have been forced from their homes, while millions more face food insecurity, limited access to healthcare, and shortages of clean water. Across the country, infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, leaving vulnerable families struggling to meet their most basic needs. [news.un.org], [unhcr.org] For many families, daily life has become a battle for survival. Parents are forced to choose between buying food and seeking medical treatment. Children are growing up without access to education, healthcare, or the stability they deserve.

Yet amid these immense challenges, Human Appeal Sudan continues to deliver vital aid where it is needed most.

What Human Appeal Is Doing in Sudan

Through the support of donors, Human Appeal is providing life-saving and sustainable assistance across multiple sectors.

Bread of Hope: Fighting Hunger One Loaf at a Time

In Khartoum, Human Appeal's Bread of Hope Bakeries are helping feed families affected by conflict and displacement.

  • 15,800 loaves of bread baked daily
  • Reaching approximately 1,700 people every day
  • More than 157,000 loaves delivered so far
  • Expansion plans aiming to reach 7,000 families daily

For countless families, these bakeries represent more than food—they provide dignity, stability, and hope amidst uncertainty.

Restoring Access to Clean Water

Access to safe drinking water remains a major challenge across Sudan. Through water infrastructure rehabilitation and water trucking programs, Human Appeal has helped provide clean water to communities that were left without reliable access.

  • 82,274 people reached with clean water
  • Boreholes rehabilitated and restored
  • Water delivered daily to vulnerable families

Clean water means fewer waterborne diseases, healthier children, and stronger communities.

Delivering Life-Saving Medical Care

The conflict has severely impacted Sudan's healthcare system, with many hospitals no longer functioning and millions lacking access to essential services.

Human Appeal is supporting healthcare facilities and delivering critical medical interventions through:

  • Mobile Medical Clinics
  • Neonatal Intensive Care Support
  • Hospital Nutrition Support
  • Cataract Surgeries
  • Prosthetic Rehabilitation
  • Hearing Aid and Ear Care Support

These programs are helping restore access to healthcare for some of the country's most vulnerable populations, including children, elderly patients, and people living with disabilities.

Supporting Children Through Hearing Aid Camps

One of the most moving projects visited during the trip is Human Appeal's Hearing Aid Camps Program.

As conflict continues to impact Sudan's healthcare system, children living with hearing loss are increasingly being left behind. Through the program:

  • More than 250 children have been identified as needing hearing support
  • Children are receiving assessments, specialist consultations, and ear health examinations
  • 150 children are currently waiting for high-powered hearing aids

For these children, a hearing aid is not just a medical device—it is a gateway to education, communication, confidence, and opportunity.

Every hearing aid fitted helps a child hear the world, connect with loved ones, and build a brighter future.

Food Parcels and Emergency Relief

Human Appeal continues to reach displaced families with essential food assistance through emergency food parcel distributions and hot meal programs.

  • More than 15,000 hot meals served
  • Emergency food assistance reaching vulnerable families and hospital patients

In communities where many have lost their livelihoods, these interventions provide immediate relief while longer-term recovery efforts continue.
