Who we are

Together for Sudan, British charity no. 1075852, was born in Sudan in 1996 when Lillian Craig Harris, wife of British Ambassador Alan Goulty, was asked by an impoverished woman to put her daughter through university. Working only in Sudan and taking its lead from what displaced and marginalized people say they need, the charity seeks to help them towards a more secure future. The TfS motto, “Power to the Powerless through Education” expresses our hope to help Sudanese women retrieve their dignity, protect themselves in the marketplace, improve their employment prospects and secure a better future for their children.

What We Do

Empowerment and education are the cornerstones of all that TfS does..

Today the charity has eight educational and educational support projects and operates in the Khartoum area, in Darfur and in the Nuba Mountains of Southern Kordofan. The charity’s flagship project, University Scholarships for Women, will by 2010 have almost 200 graduates. Other projects include Women’s Literacy, Vocational Training, Basic School Scholarships (for HIV/AIDS affected children) and Teacher Training in basic self help schools for the displaced. TfS educational support projects include Solar Lighting for schools, clinics and community centres off the electricity grid and two internationally praised projects, Eye Care Outreach and HIV/AIDS Awareness Outreach. care.

Among Together for Sudan Patrons are the Archbishop of Canterbury, distinguished Sudanese professionals and the present and past British ambassadors to Sudan. All TfS Trustees and Patrons are volunteers and TfS has no paid employees other than staff in its Khartoum and Kadugli offices and no office outside Sudan. Click here to learn more.

An Appeal for Support

TfS reaches out to people who are often  far from conventional help with simple cost effective solutions.

Sadly, in common with many of our major donors, Together for Sudan is experiencing financial difficulties because of the international economic crisis and rising costs. Several of our institutional donors who depend on investments to provide dividends and/or subscriptions to raise funds are not able at present to continue support to Together for Sudan. We have already had to suspend three of our educational projects and we face the possibility that we shall have to pay off some of our hardworking and experienced Sudanese staff. The end result could even be the closure of the charity.

Please help us hold hope for the displaced and disadvantaged women and children of Sudan.
