Sudan

World Vision’s involvement in Sudan dates back to 1993 with its relief, recovery and development programmes. It ceased its operations in 1988 due to a government order and restarted operations a decade and half later, in June 2004, with food aid distributed in the war ravaged South Darfur state. World Vision eventually began its current rehabilitation and transformational development programmes in South Darfur.

World Vision extended its scope of operations to Khartoum and Blue Nile states in 2005 and 2006 respectively to address more needy people, including children, through its transformational development programmes. The Darfur Program constitutes approximately 70 per cent of the total budget of World Vision Northern Sudan, while some 1.5 million people directly and indirectly benefit from the programmes being accomplished.
