Save the Children International in Sudan is working across Sudan e.g. Red Sea, Khartoum, South & North Kordofan, North, West & Central Darfur States etc. in Sudan. Our thematic coverage includes child rights governance, child protection, education, health, nutrition, WASH, livelihoods, and humanitarian emergencies.
