Our work
Working with communities for dignity, justice and peace
TUSIC works alongside Sudanese communities to respond to humanitarian needs, defend human rights, advance peace and strengthen community resilience in Sudan and across the diaspora.
Community-centred action
Responding to urgent needs while supporting lasting change
The crisis in Sudan has affected millions of people within the country and across neighbouring countries and the wider diaspora. Families and communities continue to face displacement, protection risks, interrupted services and uncertainty.
TUSIC’s work connects immediate humanitarian concern with longer-term efforts to promote human rights, peaceful communities, local leadership and sustainable recovery.
