Khalsa Aid International is supporting a sustainable resettlement initiative for families displaced by the Sudan conflict. This will help people move towards safety, dignity, and longer-term stability.
Khalsa Aid International has begun constructing homes for families displaced by the Sudan conflict, as part of a sustainable resettlement initiative in South Sudan. The project is being delivered in partnership with Compassion Direct UK and trusted local Pentecostal church partners. The construction is now underway on 10 homes in Maridi, South Sudan.
These homes will provide safe, transitional shelter for displaced families. As families become more self-sufficient or move on to independent accommodation, other displaced families will be supported in turn. This rolling approach allows the project to reach more people during periods of acute need.
Sudan is currently facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. An estimated 25 million people are experiencing severe food insecurity, including 770,000 children at immediate risk of death. Famine has already been confirmed in parts of the country, particularly in displacement-affected regions.
Since the escalation of the conflict in April 2023, millions of people have been forced to flee their homes, either within Sudan or across borders. Internally displaced families are among the most vulnerable, with the vast majority living in areas facing crisis-level food insecurity or worse.
Maridi was selected for this pilot project due to its relative stability and the strength of its host community, which has a long record of peaceful coexistence and self-reliance.
The initial construction of 10 homes forms a pilot phase. Subject to further funding, the project has the potential to expand through phased development to support up to 600 displaced people, creating a sustainable model rooted in the local community.
Through this work, Khalsa Aid International is helping families move from crisis towards recovery, prioritising safety, dignity, and sustainable living, rather than short-term relief alone.
