Last year hundreds of Sudanese refugee families received NEF nutritional packages during Ramadan 2005, including one mother who fainted when given food--it was her first meal in three days. With your help, we can help their Ramadan observance yet again in 2006.
Ramadan's Special Opportunities in Sudan
Food recipients of Dar El-Salaam El-Tawidaat in northern Khartoum are internally displaced people from the southern part of the country who fled the war; while beneficiaries of El-Salama are mainly war veterans who are physically disabled with very low incomes and educational levels.
"These people are really in need!"
"It was very satisfying to see the impct of these small gifts on the families, and in particular on orphans and seniors," reported Mohamed Ali (r) from NEF-Sudan. "These people are really in need!" he continued, "It is a small intervention...but we managed to add a smile on the faces of those we could reach. I am proud that NEF was the only non-Islamic, Western agency participating in food distribution for local people."

The average food package covers the Ramadan “iftar” meal for a family of seven for two weeks, providing sugar, tea, wheat, rice, beans, and dates.
