Afaagh Association

We work exclusively with orphans, all in East Africa, with 145 in Sudan which includes Sudanese nationals and Eritrean refugees, 85 in Somalia and 97 in Ethiopia. They all desperately need your help! 100% of what we collect goes to our beneficiaries. Therefore, we are asking you to kindly consider our orphans for a Friday collection of your choice. Our mission stands on four strong pillars: First Pillar Giving direct financial support to an orphan who must be registered in school, in Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia to meet basic necessities of life, such as clothing, shelter and aiding post-secondary students with their tuition fees. Second Pillar To advance their education by providing books, equipment, and educational aids to students attending schools in Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia. Third Pillar To promote health by providing basic medical services to orphans in Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia. Fourth Pillar Supporting orphans and their families financially to meet their needs in all aspects of life. Our Impact We provide financial assistance to orphans and their families in order to meet their fundamental needs. And we sponsor hard-working orphans to be successful students to continue their education in the university. Why We Exist The refugee crisis began in Sudan in the early 1960s where thousands of Eritreans left their homes and took refuge in the neighbouring country of Sudan. The refugee crisis remains an ongoing dilemma due to the United Nations’ discontinuation of aid and lack of any international support for decades. As a result, refugee camps in the regions, are filled with despair, anguish and human suffering. For example, the camps lack basic human needs such as food, medical services, clean water and most importantly education. Therefore, thousands of young refugees, with hearts filled with hopes and dreams for a better life, begin a journey away from the only place they know to be home; a journey in which the destination may never be reached. In recent years a multitude of refugees have lost their lives in the deserts and at sea. Bedouins kidnapp some and ransom them for a large sum of money. There have even been reports of organs being harvested and sold in the black market. Medically, organs are not useful if they are dead, so refugees are first drugged, then their organs are removed and they are then left to die. The cry for help continues. Will you answer the call?
