Our Village
Sherbab is a small village located near Shendi in northern Sudan, along the Nile River. With a population of approximately 2,000 people, our community has a rich cultural heritage and strong agricultural traditions.
The village economy is primarily based on farming, with residents growing crops such as sorghum, wheat, and vegetables. Many families also raise livestock, including goats and sheep.
Despite our strong community bonds and cultural heritage, Sherbab faces significant challenges in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and economic opportunities. Our charity works to address these challenges through sustainable development initiatives.
Challenges We Face
Limited Educational Resources
Many children, especially girls, have limited access to quality education due to lack of school facilities, qualified teachers, and educational materials.
Water Scarcity
Despite being near the Nile, many households lack reliable access to clean water for drinking and irrigation, especially during dry seasons.
Limited Healthcare
The village lacks adequate healthcare facilities, making it difficult for residents to access medical care, especially for women and children.
Energy Access
Many households lack reliable electricity, limiting economic opportunities and affecting quality of life, education, and healthcare.
Digital Divide
Limited access to technology and internet connectivity restricts educational and economic opportunities for village residents.
Agricultural Challenges
Traditional farming methods, climate change, and limited access to modern agricultural techniques affect crop yields and food security.
Our Vision
We envision a thriving Sherbab village where all residents have access to quality education, healthcare, clean water, and sustainable livelihoods. We believe in community-led development that respects local culture while embracing innovation and sustainability.
