OUR HISTORY
From the Start
The Sudanese Network for Humanitarian Action is a gathering of civil society organizations working in human rights, humanitarian and development fields, in addition to those that seek to preserve culture and encourage dramatic creativity and the arts within the framework of enriching the Sudanese people. The network seeks to link organizations working in various fields and coordinate their efforts with the aim of creating a network of professional, cooperative and complementary relationships that ensure effective communication between international and local civil society organizations in order to serve the Sudanese people. It also seeks to activate and support these organizations through training and providing funding to reach their maximum potential.

Our Mission
We are working directly with victims, their families, lawyers, human rights defenders and other civil society actors, supporting them to claim their universally recognised rights and freedoms, adopting a holistic approach. At the individual level, we document cases of human rights violations, provide legal assistance to victims, primarily through the use of international law mechanisms, and raise awareness of their suffering with relevant stakeholders. At the structural level, we conduct in-depth research to assess the root causes of human rights violations. On this basis, we advocate for legal and policy reform and raise awareness and understanding in line with international standards. We strive to strike a balance between providing capabilities and protection to the organizations comprising the network and the effective and sustainable implementation of our missions.
Our Vision
That individuals throughout Sudan live in societies governed by justice and peace, based on the rule of law, with effective recognition and respect for special rights related to decent living and freedom of choice. In light of the current war, we see the need for humanitarian aid to reach the Sudanese people throughout Sudan as an absolute necessity that requires the concerted efforts and high coordination between humanitarian organizations and civil society organizations to ensure the fair distribution of humanitarian relief. We also see the need to contribute in all ways to achieving urgent peace.

We defend all victims of human rights violations without discrimination of any kind. This principle also applies internally.

We work with passion and dedication, and are strongly committed to the principle of accountability by making our vision a reality.

The Savannah and Sahara Organization for Relief and Development is one of the institutions working in the humanitarian field at the level of Sudan and the region. It is an independent charitable organization with multiple activities that provides its humanitarian services to those in need in Sudan and neighboring countries without discrimination or fanaticism, far from interference in politics or existing conflicts.
This organization was established during the current year 2024 when a number of members of the Savannah and Sahara Entity called for the necessity of collecting funds to spend them to resist the trinity of danger (war, poverty and disease) and to confront the growing needs of local communities in war zones, after the rise in rates of disease, poverty and unemployment in the majority of Sudan's states.
In appreciation of the citizen's need, and based on the humanitarian orientations of the Savannah and Sahara Entity, the entity officially approved its establishment, provided that the organization would have a legal personality, headquartered in the Sudan, South Darfur state Nyala City, and that it may establish branches outside the Sudan, and carry out its activities in accordance with the provisions of its statute.
To be the leading organization in the field of relief, preventing the effects of war disasters, and fighting poverty through development
Message: The Savannah and Sahara Organization for Relief and Development is a pioneering non-profit humanitarian organization that aims to employ donor donations to provide relief to the poor and needy, improve the conditions of refugees, and fight poverty and deprivation through establishing appropriate development projects for them.
