Sudan has been devastated by the conflict that is ongoing since April 2023. Over 8 million people have been forced from their homes, with millions facing extreme hunger, chronic insecurity, and limited access to basic services. Health systems have largely collapsed, especially in remote and conflict-affected areas. As a result, maternal and infant mortality remain alarmingly high, while communities struggle to access even the most basic healthcare. Water access is equally critical—recurring droughts and the destruction of infrastructure have severely limited access to safe drinking water, making the spread of disease even more likely.
In the critical moments after birth, both mother and baby need proper care to heal and grow. However, in Sudan's resource-limited refugee camps, this care is often cut short, with mothers sent home without even a hot meal. Alight has launched a new program in camps that ensures new mothers receive a warm meal and a hot drink to support their health, recovery, and well-being after childbirth
Mobility is essential, particularly for those who are the sole providers for their households like Tabis Jabir Wad Jabir, a South Sudanese refugee in East Darfur’s Elnimir camp. Tabis had lost a leg while fleeing South Sudan, and her old prosthetic no longer fit correctly. Thanks to Alight365 quick-impact projects, she received a new one from Khartoum. Now, Tabis is fully mobile again, demonstrating the big impact of small gifts.
