This year marks ten years since the start of the conflict in western Sudan.
Today marks a special day of prayer for Sudan. This year marks ten years since the start of the conflict in Darfur in western Sudan. For nine of those ten years Tearfund has been operating on the ground in the region. The Christian charity has been helping people to generate their own livelihoods by improving nutrition, food security, water and sanitation; promoting hygiene; supporting vulnerable groups and responding to emergency needs.
Sarah Pickford from the Christian charity told Premier's News Hour how people can pray:
According to figures released by the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in December 2012, Darfur still has humanitarian needs. There are approximately 3.5 million people receiving food aid, including some 1.4 million displaced people registered in camps.
Many of these people have been living in camps for years.
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
