Sudanese Volunteer Networks Urgently Need Philanthropic Support Amid Humanitarian Crisis
In Sudan, volunteer networks known as Emergency Response Rooms (ERRs) have been pivotal in providing lifesaving assistance amidst the ongoing war. These networks, primarily led by women and young people, have been active for over two years, offering services such as communal kitchens, basic healthcare, and evacuation of civilians from dangerous areas. Despite their critical role, these networks face a significant funding gap, with more than 50% of their needs unmet. The ERRs operate on principles of mutual aid and are deeply embedded in local communities, allowing them to deliver aid efficiently and at a lower cost than traditional humanitarian efforts. However, the escalating conflict, particularly in regions like El Fasher, has intensified the humanitarian crisis, increasing the demand for their services.
