The full picture, in one document.
What we repair, how projects are chosen, and where the money goes. It covers our approach to homes, community buildings and small businesses, the controls we apply to every project, and what we can and can’t yet evidence.
What we can’t yet show
We’re not yet a registered charity, so we don’t publish annual accounts. Registration is in progress and we’ll publish them in full when we can.
In the meantime, everything on this page is something we can evidence.
One project, up close, from each kind of work we do.
Rather than list everything at once, here is a closer look at one completed home repair, one community building and one small business, so you can see exactly what your support builds.
A School for the Blind
The braille print room at Al Noor Institute had fallen into serious disrepair, with half the room needing full reconstruction. We rebuilt the damaged structure, replastered throughout, replaced the doors and windows, fitted a new roof, and reinstated the room’s electrics and cooling so its printing equipment could run again.
Al Noor teaches 150 students, but this room’s reach goes far beyond the school gates. It houses Sudan’s only braille print room, producing materials that thousands of visually impaired students across the country depend on. Repairing it restored access to education for far more students than those who walk through the institute’s doors.
Home repair case study
We’re putting together a full case study from one of our completed home repairs, before and after photos included.
Restoring a Dukaan
This family first reached out to us for help repairing their war-damaged home. As we got to know their situation, we learned that before the war they had run a small community shop next to their house, which had been their main source of income. The shop had been severely damaged, looted, and showed signs of fire.
Together, we agreed to repair the shop. With it back up and running, the family has an income again, the community has its local shop back, and jobs have been created along the way. Recovering the business has also put the family in a stronger position to repair their home.
What it costs to process a donation.
Exactly what a donation costs us to process before it reaches a project.
Fees and overhead
Donations are reduced by two separate fees before the money reaches us: a card processing fee charged by Stripe, and a platform fee charged by Donorbox. Both are listed separately in our donation records and both are counted below.

Of gross donations
Donations made in other currencies carry an additional currency-conversion cost, so the blended rate across all income is higher than 4.75%.
Sharing is caring too.
Sudan’s war is one of the world’s least-covered crises. Every share puts it back in front of people who can help.
