Urgent appeal: Sudanese volunteers providing lifesaving aid to more than 4 million people suffering in a devastating conflict and resulting famine need your help in the face of catastrophic funding cuts.
Just $5 USD can provide a much-needed meal to 25 people in a communal kitchen.
Over 2/3 of the population is at risk of dying. Emergency Response Room volunteers provide life-saving support, including communal kitchens, pharmaceutical supplies, evacuations, water and electricity infrastructure repair, and safe spaces for women and children. These groups often operate in areas inaccessible to international organizations, extending their reach far beyond that of any other response organization, while also being cost-effective.
Now, Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in both 2024 and already in 2025, are facing an 80% reduction in already-insufficient resources due to recent USAID cuts.
The Mutual Aid Sudan Coalition is a collective of organizations committed to direct, flexible funding for local volunteers responding to Sudan’s humanitarian crisis. The Coalition adopts the approaches and requirements championed by local groups rather than asking them to change for international systems.
The Coalition provides financial, operational, and advocacy services to mutual aid leaders, following their guidance and requests. Localization represents a shift in the way aid works, meeting mutual aid actors where they are.
