AWAFY Sudanese Organization

What AWAFY Sudanese Organization does

AWAFY Sudanese Organization is a youth-led, non-governmental, non-profit organization established in May 2021, headquartered in Zalingei, Central Darfur, Sudan, with a regional office in Kampala, Uganda. The organization delivers humanitarian assistance, peacebuilding, human rights advocacy, protection services, and health programs to conflict-affected populations in Sudan, with a primary focus on internally displaced persons (IDPs), youth, and women. Operations are concentrated in Central Darfur, with extension into West Darfur and Eastern Sudan through partner networks. The organization's portfolio is organized around five programmatic areas—Youth & Women Empowerment, Advocacy & Peace Building, Human Rights, Protection, and Health—delivered via direct field services (food distribution, mosquito net distribution, latrine rehabilitation, cash transfers) and community-based advocacy and capacity-building events.

AWAFY does not operate proprietary technology products. Its core service delivery is human-resource intensive and field-based, relying on direct distribution channels including field teams, health emergency response teams, and mobile health campaigns operating out of IDP gathering points, shelters, and Zalingei Teaching Hospital. Complementary outputs include research publications on political applications of the death penalty, judicial manipulation in Eastern Sudan, and rapid needs assessments in IDP camps. Communications run through awafy.org, Facebook, WhatsApp channel, and a Mailchimp newsletter.

The business model is grant-funded and non-commercial. AWAFY operates as a non-profit dependent on institutional donors and international humanitarian organizations, including Norwegian People's Aid (financial partner for Empowering IDPs through Essential Services Project), People in Need (co-implementing partner for the Cash Transfer Program), NIDAA, and Adeela for Culture and Art (funder of the Mashish Adeela Project). Services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

• FANOUSE for Rights and Knowledge Organization: Sudanese rights and knowledge organization that AWAFY funded to organize a dialogue forum on Combating Hate Speech at Ardamata IDPs Camp in West Darfur. Operates as a peer local NGO focused on human rights, knowledge dissemination, and community dialogue in the Darfur context.

Broad incumbents

• International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC): Global humanitarian organization operating extensively in Sudan across conflict-affected regions including Darfur. Provides protection, health, and emergency assistance to IDPs with comparable program areas to AWAFY, but at vastly greater scale, capacity, and international mandate.
• Save the Children: International humanitarian organization delivering health, nutrition, education, and protection services to conflict-affected children and families in Sudan. Comparable in delivering multi-sector humanitarian programming to IDPs in Darfur, though at significantly greater scale and international scope.
• People in Need: Czech humanitarian organization established in 1992 and member of Alliance2015. AWAFY partnered with People in Need on the Emergency Response through Cash Transfer Program in Central Darfur (2023). Comparable in mission (humanitarian relief and human rights), but operates at substantially greater scale as an international NGO.
• Norwegian People's Aid: International humanitarian organization founded in 1939, operating in 30+ countries including Sudan.

NPA's Mine Action, development, and humanitarian aid portfolio in Sudan directly overlaps with AWAFY's focus areas, making it the most relevant international peer.
• UNHCR (UN Refugee Agency): UN agency mandated to lead and coordinate international action for the protection of refugees and IDPs. Operates the largest IDP response in Sudan, directly overlapping with AWAFY's core mission of serving IDPs in Central Darfur. Substantially larger and serves as a coordination body that AWAFY engages with.
