Sudan
|
In recent history, Sudan has been known as one of the most politically and economically unstable countries in the world. After years of civil war and unrest, the people of Sudan have been ravaged by senseless violence and poverty. An estimated ten percent of Sudan’s children are orphans - over 1.8 million of them - many of whom lost their parents during the war and are now living on the streets or in refugee camps. In Southern Sudan, one in four children dies before their fifth birthday. There are tens of thousands of street children in Sudan. Many of these children suffer needlessly as they:

This war-torn country is full of refugee camps that usually have no electricity and limited access to water. These camps are full of disease, poverty, and horrific squalor. Hospitals, medical facilities and schools are often not accessible to the children living in these camps.
Kids Alive believes that Jesus’ ministry was holistic in nature; that He would be concerned about the empty tummies of children as much as their empty hearts. Our ministry is focused on fulfilling the physical, emotional, AND spiritual needs of children through Christ-centered care, education, and ministry—and bringing them up to become faithful followers of Jesus and pillars of their community.

Support Boys' Hope Center
Boys' Hope Center
The Boys Hope Center in Khartoum serves the children in need through several programs.
Children’s Home is located on the edge of Khartoum, the Center consists of several homes for over forty orphaned children who previously had been living on the streets.
The Boys' Hope Center School provides primary education, kindergarten through third grade. Students include children from our home as well as those in the neighborhood who otherwise would not have opportunity to attend school – totaling more than 120 children.
The Outreach Center provides a safe place for street children to receive a meal and take a shower. Often these are orphaned refugees fleeing from war-torn and drought ridden regions. While at the center, the children take part in Bible studies, crafts, and other activities to enrich their lives.

The Kids Alive Children's Home
Based in a refugee camp on the outskirts of Khartoum, the residence is home to sixteen children from desperate situations. Orphaned or lost, these children have no one else to turn to among the thousands of displaced survivors of war and famine. By providing not only basic needs, but also living the example of Christ’s love, we hope to raise boys who will have a positive impact on those around them.

Kharnheim Children's Home
This ministry is a family-style home with dedicated house parents, who are raising the boys, along with their own children. The building was recently reconstructed and can now care for more than 20 children. The children are all doing well at the local school, and are grow spiritually at the local church, which partners with Kids Alive in running the Home.
Support Good Shepherd Center
Good Shepherd Center
As more refugees return to their homes in southern Sudan, the problem of homeless children in Wau becomes greater. The returnees find a devastated land without good roads, hospitals, schools or jobs. This poverty leaves many parents unable to provide for their children, leaving them to wander the streets. This ministry in southern Sudan consists of a Care Center serving about forty street children and a Children’s Home for the most vulnerable children. With such a need in this area, there are plans to grow this critical ministry.
Support Sudan Staff
Sudan Staff
Kids Alive Staff in Sudan have been called by God to serve the children in some of the harshest conditions in the world. Due to the persecution of faith-based aid organizations their identities need to be protected. Please keep them in your prayers and consider financially supporting their work with the orphans.
