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, has over 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.

offices and no office outside Sudan. Click

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.
