Please Do Not Forget the Displaced Families in South Kordofan, Sudan
While much of the world's attention is focused on the Middle East, thousands of displaced families in South Kordofan continue to face unimaginable suffering.
Recently, heavy rains hit the IDP camp in Amdulu, South Kordofan, washing away shelters and exposing already vulnerable families to yet another trauma. Women, children, older persons and people with disabilities are now facing even greater suffering as they struggle to survive without food and medical care.
Imagine escaping war only to watch the little shelter you have washed away in the rain.
Many families are sleeping under trees with no protection.
These communities have already endured so much pain because of the ongoing conflict in South Kordofan. Now they are facing another crisis, one that is receiving No attention.
We are calling on , , and people of goodwill to help provide emergency shelter, food assistance, healthcare, and other lifesaving support to these affected families.
The people of Sudan are not asking for luxury. They are asking for safety and a chance to survive for another day
Please remember them. Please stand with them. And please help us raise awareness about what is happening in South Kordofan, where too much suffering continues in silence.
Every voice matters. Every act of support makes a difference.

Our social workers recently conducted a child-friendly art therapy and storytelling session with children as part of ongoing psychosocial support for traumatized children.
The children used drawing to express their feelings in a safe and creative way. Through storytelling, they listened, share stories and slowly opened up in a supportive space.
These simple activities help children begin healing, especially those affected by conflict and displacement.
At TRAID, we continue to support children through art, storytelling, and other psychosocial care activities that help them heal and feel safe again.

On Friday, 22 May, the Trauma Rescue Aid (TRAID) team, mainly made up of refugees, visited the Philips Charity Foundation – Kiwanga Integrated Skills Training Center in Uganda.
It was a simple visit. Not formal. Not complicated. Just people coming together to learn, share, and connect.
We work mostly with refugees and displaced families, but we also recognize something very important, none of this work is possible without the kindness of host communities in . This visit was also a way of saying thank you the communities.
At Kiwanga Integrated Skills Training Center, we learned about their daily work with children, including children with disabilities. Their focus on skills training and rehabilitation for disable children.
We also shared our own experiences working with refugee and trauma-affected communities. No formal speeches, just honest conversations between people doing similar work in different spaces.
The most powerful moment was spending time with the children. Talking, listening, simply being present.
We also supported the center with food items for the disabilities children.
This visit reminded us again that refugees and host communities are not separate worlds. They share schools, services, markets, and daily life. That is why social cohesion matters.
We sincerely thank host communities for their continued hospitality and support to refugees. It is something we do not take for granted.
TRAID remains committed to refugee and host community cooperation, disability inclusion, and peaceful coexistence in Uganda.

Today, we continue our Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Campaign with a second group of Sudanese refugee girls in Uganda under the 2026 theme, "Together for a ."
Yesterday’s session with the first group was truly inspiring. The girls actively participated in open discussions about menstrual health and hygiene.
Two key things we learned from yesterday’s discussions are that, in some Sudanese families, menstrual health is not openly discussed within the home. Several girls shared that menstruation is often treated as a shameful topic, which leaves young girls without proper guidance or support.
We also learned that some families still continue to practice female ge***al mutilation (FGM), despite it being prohibited by law in Sudan.
These are serious concerns that need urgent attention to protect young girls from harmful practices and ensure their rights are being protected.
Today, we are continuing these important conversations with another group of refugee girls. We are also distributing sanitary pads to help girls manage their periods with dignity and confidence.
We are deeply grateful to our supporters. Your generosity makes these awareness sessions and sanitary pad distributions possible. Your support is helping refugee girls access essential menstrual hygiene products.
Together, we are helping create a world where no girl is left behind because of her period.

Every contribution, no matter the size, has helped restore dignity and hope to girls who need it most.

Behind every smile, there is a story people do not see.
Many women, children, and displaced families are living with trauma caused by conflict, violence, and loss. Some have lost their homes. Some lost loved ones. Others are simply trying to survive each day while carrying pain silently.
At Trauma Rescue Aid (TRAID), we create safe spaces where survivors can speak, heal, and feel supported again through psychosocial support, counselling, community outreach, and protection programs.
This work is only possible because of people who choose to care.
Your support can help us reach more survivors with food, sanitary pads and healing.
Together, we can remind them they are not alone.

On Sunday, we conducted a group therapy and storytelling session with refugee children. More than 160 children came to the center, which honestly reminded us how important these therapeutic spaces are for children who have witnessed unimaginable violence.
Because of the number of children, we had to divide them into two groups. One group met in the morning for one hour, and the other in the evening for one hour.
In both sessions, the children were given a safe space to share stories and express themselves through drawing. Some spoke freely, others stayed quiet and let their drawings speak for them. And some simply listened, which is also part of the healing process.
What stayed with us most is how each child finds their own way to express what they carry inside, even when words are not enough.
