Tripling Your Donations: Empowering Women and Crisis-affected Communities

IMRelief’s food distribution missions were made possible in 2025 through the partnership of 254 home-based vendors from within their own communities — most of them women — whose businesses were strengthened through large-volume orders. In Syria, for example, their efforts enabled us to proudly serve communities in Daraa, Inkhil, Saaba, Hamuria, and the beautiful Damascus countryside.

TRIPLING YOUR DONATIONS — Prioritizing local procurement is IMRelief’s angle to triple the value of your donations. As such, the donations: 1. reach the food beneficiaries, 2. create jobs, and 3. drive economic empowerment, especially for women.

Only with your generous support can we fulfill this mission.

Since the outbreak of civil war in April 2023, Sudan has witnessed one of the fastest-growing displacement crises in the world. A staggering 12.7 million people have been forcibly displaced — the majority within Sudan, but more than 3 million have crossed into neighboring countries like Chad, South Sudan, Egypt, and Ethiopia as refugees. These families have left everything behind, only to face overcrowded camps, food shortages, and an uncertain future. Humanitarian aid remains critically underfunded, and countless lives hang in the balance.

Women and children are disproportionately affected by this crisis. Children constitute over half of the displaced population, with more than 2.8 million under the age of five. These children are at heightened risk of malnutrition, disease, and lack of access to essential services like healthcare and education. Women, particularly those of reproductive age, face increased risks of gender-based violence and limited access to reproductive health services. An estimated 2.7 million women of reproductive age are displaced, including over 272,000 who are pregnant.

Today, Sudanese refugee families urgently need shelter, food, medical care, and protection. 

IMRelief is mobilizing resources to help bridge this gap in humanitarian assistance. In April 2025, our food and water distribution missions covered 1,000 families; and we are working to reach a goal of 10,000 families.

With your support, IMRelief can help restore their sense of safety, dignity, and hope in the face of unimaginable loss.
