Assalaamu Alaikum (peace be upon you)

Why we need to be supporting the people of Sudan?

- Sudan is one of the world's poorest countries

- Many people are dying of hunger/thirst or curable diseases

- millions are currently homeless with no more then 1 pair of cothing

- 70% of the north of the country and 90% of the south live on less than 65p per day

- Most of the population is nourished from subsistence agriculture. Food is so scarce that during droughts lives are endangered.

- Estimated 10% of children are left orphaned

- In Southern Sudan, 1 in 4 children die before their fifth birthday

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The believer's shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity." - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 604
