Sudan Relief Fund



Life is tough for an orphan anywhere in the world; but in this war-torn region, it's hard to imagine how difficult it is for them.

The vast majority of them have lost their parents to murder, oftentimes right in front of them, due to the civil war that has ravaged the region for the past several years. This has left them not only without parents, but scarred emotionally. Unlike the U.S. which has a robust foster care program, many of these children starve without anyone to take care of them. They are without families and without hope.
Sister Bianca with Her Kids
Witnessing this firsthand is what inspired me to bring hope to these children by starting the St. Bakhita Orphanage in Yambio-Tombura.
My name is Sister Bianca and even though I'm over 70, I still do what I can to help these kids who have no one to turn to. I watch over 60 children now and expect many more to arrive in the next few months because word is spreading about our safe home for them. However, managing this orphanage on my own is difficult, and I cannot provide more than a roof over the children’s heads. I rely completely on donors to help me provide them with shelter, food, and medicine.
Living Space of St. Bakhita Orphanage
With your donation, we can provide the following:
  • Extra space (right now, all 60 children share one room)
  • Food and clean water
  • Beds with nets to prevent malaria
  • Security fencing around the orphanage
  • Medicine for the children
People such as myself and Bishop Eduardo Kussala are working hard to help these suffering children overcome their difficult lives, but it is becoming harder and harder each day.
Without Help, These Children Would Have Perished
These kids have had everything taken away from them, but with your help, we can hopefully give them back a sense of stability, purpose, and hope.

Humbly I ask for you support so I can continue to help all those who come to our orphanage.
Thank you,
Sister Bianca
 
P.S. Your gift of $25, $50, or even $100 will provide St. Bakhita Orphanage with the support they need to help the suffering children. Please help these children overcome their difficult lives and give them back a sense of stability, purpose, and hope.
