FAR Celebrates its 25th Anniversary
In 2010 FAR Sudan celebrates its 25th
Anniversary in Sudan. To commemorate this, 25 projects will be launched
during the year within the states and sectors that FAR works in. There
are three anniversary projects already underway: the PEACE Project in
South Kordofan, the water pump project in Mardais village, South
Kordofan, and the trauma counselling programme in West Darfur funded by
the US Institute of Peace.
Each small-scale project will
address at least one of FAR’s cross-cutting priorities: community
empowerment; environmental sustainability; child-centred development;
conflict sensitivity; and beneficiary accountability. Projects should
also adhere to our core mission and values.
The anniversary year is an exciting one, giving the organisation the
chance to reflect on our history and internal development. Yet these
projects also look to the future as they promote and strengthen the
role of FAR within communities. Collaboration with beneficiaries and
community-based organisations will reinforce the community-driven
message that FAR seeks to spread.
FAR staff and beneficiaries are invited to submit proposals and ideas
for small-scale projects. We are also looking for communities,
churches and schools internationally to support these projects by
fundraising with us in 2010. If you would like to receive more
information on what you can do to help or would like more information
on FAR and its projects please get in touch with us.
As well as anniversary projects, FAR will be collecting stories from
beneficiaries, staff members and supporters of FAR past and present. If
you have any memories or comments about your experiences with FAR
please let us know about them (email to Letty at intern@farsudan.org).
We look forward to celebrating with you!
FAR’s mission is to facilitate the holistic transformation of vulnerable communities in Sudan and to enable them to address and overcome the root causes of poverty. READ MORE...

| Environmental Concerns in the Nuba Mountains
Desertification is a big problem in central Sudan. In the Nuba Mountains, water is disappearing from boreholes and hand dug wells; young trees have trouble growing because goats eat them and mature trees continue to be cut for fire wood and fences. FAR is working to prevent desertification through tree planting and gabion check dam projects. READ MORE.
