We want to see the people of the Sahel influence the decisions that affect their lives and have control over the natural and economic resources they need for a secure and fulfilling life.
With the exception of Sudan, where we directly implement a programme on the ground, our focus is regional rather than country-specific.

The Road to Peace, Sudan
SOS Sahel UK has worked with herders (pastoralists) and farmers in Kordofan for nearly twenty years; helping them share access to and regenerate the natural resources (trees, land and water) that they depend upon for survival. In North Kordofan state alone, 90% of the 1.5 million population are either farmers or pastoralists. Competition over dwindling resources is triggering conflict, especially along seasonal cattle and camel routes. In this short clip, see how we are improving water supplies along livestock routes; benefiting both pastoralists and farmers and building a lasting foundation for peace. |
