SudanmarK

SudanmarK SudanmarK is a Danish/ south Sudanese non-profit NGO that was founded in 2010.

It was created as a tool of promoting peace and alleviating the living standards of the people of south Sudan who gained their independence from the former Sudan marking the end of decades of suffering and oppression. At the core of its establishment, SudanmarK aimed at improving the lives of rural societies particularly by providing access to clean water and healthcare. Lack of clean water was a

major problem in most the rural areas in south Sudan whereby people had to walk for over 20km to fetch water. In addition, most of the water sources were not clean therefore creating a major health risk to the people. Furthermore, due to lack of sufficient water sources, majority of rural people had to cross over to other villages to access water therefore leading to emergence of conflicts as they fought for the scarce yet formidable resource. As survivors of war from their early childhood, SudanmarK`s chief founder`s Reath Kawang Nyak and Gatkouth Gony Pur has held different meetings and campaigns in Denmark and abroad explaining to people and well wishers how complex life in south Sudan can be especially when people do not have access to fundamental resources such as water which only intensifies mobility of people thus leading to occurrence of conflict among different communities. For SudanmarK therefore, providing clean water in the rural areas was the best solution towards promoting peace in the rural areas and most importantly an effective way of reducing health risks emerging from unclean water. Since we started, we have managed to provide easy access to safe drinking water for the people of Yei and Mundari Equatoria region in South Sudan. The project involved drilling boreholes as a way of increasing sustainable water access points. We also provided water filters to the people who lived away from the boreholes in order to ensure that they purify their water before use. The success of this project was achieved through our main partners in Denmark, International Aid Services and Kristus Kirke in Vejen (Aarhus) together with our local partners in south Sudan. We still have hope for peace and better lives for the people of south Sudan and we believe that as our organization continues to grow we will manage to reach and develop most parts of South Sudan.

RE: Urgent Call for Intervention in South Sudan to Protect Civilian Lives
Lars Løkke Rasmussen

Dear Respected Representatives,
I am writing as a concerned Danish citizen, deeply troubled by the escalating situation in South Sudan. The Government of South Sudan has failed to fulfil its duty to protect civilians, and recent developments demand immediate international attention.

Reports indicate that the South Sudanese government has deployed tribal military forces to conduct a forceful disarmament exercise in the towns of “Nasir and “Ulang , upper Nile state. without prior consultation with local communities. This action, carried out by

non-unified forces lacking proper training in the rule of law, poses an imminent threat to civilian safety and risks exacerbating local tensions.
The use of ethnically aligned troops, rather than a neutral, unified force trained in human rights and legal protocols, raises serious concerns about potential abuses and human rights violations. The absence of community dialogue further undermines trust and destabilizes an already fragile region.
I urge the United Nations and the Danish government to intervene immediately to prevent potential violence and hold the South Sudanese
2 / 2
government accountable for any harm inflicted upon civilians. I call for diplomatic pressure, independent monitoring, and, if necessary,
peacekeeping measures to ensure the protection of innocent lives.
The international community must act swiftly to uphold human rights and foster lasting peace initiatives in South Sudan. Lives are at stake, and your timely intervention could make a profound difference.

Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.

Sincerely,
Reath Kawang Nyak ‘
Activists. Founder& CEO at Sudanmark

Our Story

“Everyone, be it, women, men and children deserves a dignified and sustainable living” . SudanmarK is a Non profit NGO based in Vejen, Denmark. The organization was established in Denmark back in 2010 shorty after South Sudan gained its independence from he former Sudan after decades of civil war and immense destruction. As a brainchild of two South Sudanese refugees Reath and Gatkuoth currently living in Denmark, SudanmarK was launched as a path towards combating the day to day challenges South Sudanese refugee communities go through in order to boost their socio-economic standards and enhance self sustainability. Most importantly, the organization provided a good platform for the Sudanese community in Denmark to appreciate their place of origin and standing together to protect the Human Security and Survival of their fellows who are still stuck in war tone South Sudan.

To achieve these objectives, sudanmark works closely with other stakeholders such as the Presbyterian church of Ethiopia and other individual donors and Organizations in denmark; worth mentioning, Kristus kirke, private donors that we engage with during our fundraising campaigns and CISU. We fundraise and implement projects based on what we consider as paramount towards our beneficiaries achieving their most daily basic needs. Most notable of our achievements are the water and fish projects that have already been concluded. Their tremendous ripple effects are already visible in the fields of improved health, economic sustainability and food security.

We always aim to be the best in promoting peace and dignity, freedom from want, the right to life and making the world a better place for all of us.
