We have been working in Sudan since 1998. Our work currently focuses on Khartoum City, to where a large portion of the population displaced by war has fled.
We have developed the country's first state-approved, regulated Foster Care programme for children who have been orphaned or separated from their parents as a result of the war and are living on the streets of Khartoum, or in camps on the outskirts of the city.
We are also closing down an institution for abandoned babies by extending our current foster care programme and devising preventative services which we hope will break the cycle of institutionalisation.
Closing institutions - The 'Maygoma' Project We are now overseeing the closure of an institution for abandoned babies in Khartoum. It is estimated that 110 babies are left on the streets of Khartoum or in hospitals each month. Of these, approximately 50 die on the streets. The rest are admitted to an institution called Maygoma. We are leading up a team of experts from the Ministry of Social and Cultural Affairs, UNICEF and other NGOs, and are aiming to close the institution by the end of March 2007 and place over 1,000 children in loving foster families. We are also working to prevent babies from being abandoned in the first place by changing attitudes and policies towards single mothers, and liasing with the hospitals that 'feed' Maygoma. We work closely with both the Government and local communities to ensure the long-term sustainability of our projects in Sudan.
