ConnectHER × Darfur IDP Humanitarian Network
Help Families Survive and Rebuild in Darfur
We’re partnering with the IDP Humanitarian Network to raise urgent funds for Sudan. Your donation powers an Indigenous‑led, volunteer‑run response that delivers last‑mile aid to families displaced by violence.
20+ Years of Indigenous‑Led Crisis Response. The largest survivor‑led humanitarian network delivering last‑mile aid across every major IDP camp in Darfur and beyond.
Measured Impact at Scale
Through global coordination and localized response, this decentralized network has sustained displaced communities since the start of the 2003 genocide. In the face of immeasurable odds, they rapidly deploy and scale community kitchens, mobile clinics, pop‑up classrooms, shelters, and water security—mobilizing quickly when forced displacement demands mobile operations.

Mobile Societies: Our Operating Model
Indigenous needs assessment, frontline & diaspora coordination, and last‑mile delivery through volunteer community members & professionals—rapidly mobilized under displacement.
Community Kitchens
Mobile & stationary; each kitchen supports ~100 families. Coordinators procure staples (millet, sorghum, lentils, oil, salt) and distribute to volunteer cooks.
Mobile Clinics
Licensed medical leads run mobile units with community health workers, providing essential care and medicines both along evacuation routes and at temporary encampments.
Schools & Protection
Pop‑up classrooms and women‑ & child‑protection programs preserve safety, dignity, and learning through crisis.
Shelter & Water Security
Emergency shelter drives and water procurement from surrounding villages ensure safety and survival in temporary locations.

Crisis Update: ZamZam & El Fasher Emergency
