Our Story

El Ruhama for Development and Humanitarian Aid (EL RUHAMA) founded in 1999 in South Darfur state to help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future. Our vision is a just Sudan without poverty. We want a Sudan where people are valued and treated equally, enjoy their rights as full citizens, and can influence decisions affecting their lives. Our purpose is to help create lasting solutions to the injustice of poverty. We are part of Sudan movement for change, empowering people to create a future that is secure, just, and free from poverty. Achieving our Purpose We use a combination of rights-based sustainable development programs, public education, campaigns, advocacy, and humanitarian assistance in disasters and conflicts. We challenge the structural causes of the injustice of poverty, and work with Host community, Refugees, Internally Displaced Person, Returnees especially women, single mother, disabled , elderly, Children , orphan. Our Beliefs Everyone has a right to realize their potential, and to live free of poverty in a secure and more equitable world. We believe that with the necessary action and political will, this world is possible. People have a right to life and security; to a sustainable livelihood; to be heard; to have an identity; and to have access to basic social services. In poverty, people have little power and are denied an effective voice. Poverty means little income, too few assets, lack of access to basic services and opportunities, deep inequalities, ongoing insecurity and little opportunity for development. Poverty is rooted in inequality, and in human action or inaction. It can be worsened by natural disasters, human violence, oppression and environmental damage, and maintained by institutions and economic means. Women and girls are often the most oppressed by poverty; their needs and rights must be central to eliminating it. We face unprecedented changes and challenges this century, including climate change, famines and food price crises, increasing humanitarian crises, energy limitations, proliferation of weapons, urbanization, and natural resources shortages. To meet these challenges, we need global co-operation and cohesion. Our core values • We believe in the intrinsic value and dignity of human life. • We are awed by human resilience, and believe in the ability of all people to thrive, not just exist. • We believe that all people have the right to live in peaceful communities and participate fully in the decisions that affect their lives. • We value stewardship of the earth’s health, pledging to accountably and efficiently preserve and manage its resources. • We believe that it is our duty to be effective stewards of the financial resources entrusted to us.
