Programs
Education Empowerment
In conflict zones, education is often the first casualty. Over 2 million Sudanese children are out of school, with girls disproportionately affected. Displacement destroys not just homes, but futures.
Orphan Care & Sponsorship
Conflict has orphaned thousands of children, leaving them without protection, support, or hope. Without intervention, these children face exploitation, trafficking, and a lifetime of poverty.
Community Development
Displacement fractures communities, destroying the social fabric and economic systems that families depend on. Without intentional rebuilding, communities struggle to recover for decades.
Clean Water Initiative
Millions lack access to clean water, forcing women and children to walk hours daily to collect water that's often contaminated. Waterborne diseases remain a leading cause of child mortality.

Our goal is not only to help the people there, but also help the economy. We aim to buy as many local supplies as we can to reinvest in the communities we aid.

Scholarships for Sudan

Helping displaced Sudanese students pursue higher education beyond borders.

Scholarships for Sudan provides financial support to displaced Sudanese students who have earned admission to universities but cannot enroll because of tuition, travel, housing, and other education-related expenses.

Campaign Details

Providing financial support to displaced Sudanese students.

About This Campaign

For many displaced Sudanese students, receiving a university acceptance is only the beginning. After overcoming war, forced displacement, interrupted schooling, and extraordinary personal hardship, many are offered life-changing opportunities to continue their education, only to find that the financial cost places those opportunities beyond their reach.

Scholarships for Sudan is a Najwa Foundation initiative created to help close that gap. The program supports displaced Sudanese students who have been accepted to universities in other countries but face financial barriers that may prevent them from enrolling, relocating, or completing their studies.

Through this initiative, Najwa Foundation raises funds to help eligible students cover essential educational and relocation expenses, including:

* University tuition and fees

* International travel and relocation

* Housing and living expenses

* Visa and residency costs

* Health insurance

* Books and academic supplies

* Technology and transportation

Our current featured student is Mazin Aboalbashar, a displaced Sudanese geologist who has been admitted to the Master’s Degree in Geosciences for the Energy Transition at the University of Barcelona. Through Mazin’s campaign, and the students who will follow, we are working to ensure that displacement and financial hardship do not determine the limits of a student’s future.

Make a Difference

Your contribution can help a displaced Sudanese student move from acceptance to enrollment and from uncertainty to opportunity.

When we invest in displaced students, we are not only funding degrees. We are supporting future educators, scientists, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, advocates, and community leaders.

Together, we can ensure that Sudanese students have the opportunity to dream, learn, lead, and build futures beyond displacement.

Why This Matters

The war in Sudan has disrupted education at every level, forcing students from their homes, separating them from their universities, and leaving many without the resources needed to continue their studies. Yet displaced students continue to apply, earn admission, and pursue opportunities despite these circumstances.

A university acceptance should represent the beginning of a new future, not another opportunity lost because of war or poverty.

By supporting Scholarships for Sudan, donors can help promising students transform university admission into an education, a career, and an opportunity to contribute to the rebuilding of their communities.
