Darfur Initiative
HISG has been supporting humanitarian work in Darfur, Sudan since 2006. The conflict in Sudan has displaced approximately 2.4 million people since 2003, and the majority of those Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are entirely dependent on outside aid for their survival. The situation in Darfur is extremely precarious, with seemingly non-stop armed clashes causing massive population displacements, several restrictions on humanitarian access, increased unrest and violence inside the IDP camps, and a high incidence of targeted attacks against humanitarian workers and their assets. The conflict continues to significantly impact local economies, commerce, and basic human needs in the conflict areas.
HISG is committed to helping the people in Sudan. Members of HISG's staff have spent extensive amounts of time in Feina and Nyala, Darfur, providing short term relief and looking for long term solutions. Based on extensive research in the area and strong relationships with the people, we are working on seven new development initiatives directed at transforming the communities in Darfur, as well as improving the quality of life for Sudan's massive IDP population. These projects have been carefully selected and designed to fill critical service gaps, become self-sustaining in the shortest time possible, involve local communities at every step, and move Darfur toward holistic societal transformation.
