SAHARI Organization for Development (SAHARI), headquartered in Port Sudan, stands as a beacon of hope and resilience amidst adversity. Operating across multiple Sudanese states, SAHARI orchestrates a symphony of humanitarian efforts. Our offices transcend mere structures; they are change hubs in Khartoum State, North Darfur, Central Darfur, South Kordofan, Al-Qadarif, and Dongola. These nerve centers serve as the foundation for SAHARI’s gradual expansion, weaving a network of aid and development. In response to Sudan’s ongoing war-induced humanitarian crisis, SAHARI takes a frontline role, providing life-saving Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) services at gathering sites. Our multifaceted emergency response includes water trucking, WASH committee formation and training, latrine rehabilitation, dislodging, waste management, and hygiene promotion. Since its establishment in 2005 and official registration in 2016, SAHARI has committed to supporting livelihoods in conflict-ravaged communities. We focus on Internally Displaced Peoples (IDPs), refugees, returnees, and host communities. Collaborating closely with local authorities and government departments, our work spans food security, environmental protection, nutrition, and health. SAHARI’s approach emphasizes sustainable, high-quality programs that build resilience and capacity. We foster peaceful coexistence among communities, enabling them to rebuild and thrive despite challenges.
Our unwavering commitment to inclusivity ensures that all community members—women, children, men, youth, elderly, and marginalized groups—participate in the development process, regardless of race, sex, color, or political affiliation.
Through strategic partnerships with UN agencies, private sector donors, civil society, and stakeholders, SAHARI not only provides aid but also advocates for critical issues affecting Sudanese people.
