Operation Broken Silence
We're dedicated to Sudanese communities, cultivating resilience and driving meaningful change through crowdfunded programs.
We capture inspiring stories and provide news and analysis to educate citizens around the world about the crisis the Sudanese people face. Then we identify and partner with Sudanese heroes on the ground to propel their life-changing education, healthcare, and humanitarian work forward.
The most oppressed people in Sudan live in the rural periphery regions of the country. Despite the immense pain and suffering brought on by decades of war and genocide, the hope for change in these communities is fiercely contagious:
Education in Yida Refugee Camp. In 2014, we began funding four Nuba teachers in Yida Refugee Camp —just south of the Nuba Mountains— teaching under a tree. All they had was a half broken chalkboard. These teachers have since blossomed their efforts into the Endure Primary and Renewal Secondary Schools, where 22 local teachers serve more than 700 students every week.
Children’s Feeding Program & Clinic in Adré, eastern Chad. Many survivors of war crimes in West Darfur have fled into eastern Chad, specifically the border town of Adré. Local Darfuri healthcare workers have organized a small children’s feeding program that provides for 600-700 children daily and a medical clinic to serve between 150-200 of the most vulnerable every day. Medication is provided to patients for free and thousands of patients have been treated for conditions that include malaria, typhus, diarrhea, malnutrition, heart disease, gynecological issues, diabetes, and more.
Sexual Assault Counseling & Emergency Aid in Tiné, eastern Chad. Team Zamzam consists of 20 female counselors who were serving victims of sexual violence and malnutrition in the Greater El Fasher area in North Darfur. They have served more than 4,000 women who have been sexually assaulted with counseling, as well as arranged reparative surgeries for women suffering from traumatic fistulas following assault. Team Zamzam also** distributed food to the disabled and blind, widows who have taken in orphans, and those with severe acute malnutrition in Zamzam displacement camp. After the Rapid Support Forces invaded the camp in April 2025, most of the counselors fled to Tiné in eastern Chad, where they are now working to get their services back up and running.
