Through grassroots reconciliation, education and community building, we lift up examples of peace and forgiveness between former enemies as alternatives to the history of violence in Sudan and South Sudan.
This movement began in 2004 when Southern Sudanese took aid to refugees from the genocide in Darfur. This aid effort was extraordinary because the Darfurians had been used by the government of Sudan in a 22-year war against the Southerners which left 2 million of them dead and 4 million displaced.
Sudan Sunrise is a movement of individuals from all religious backgrounds and identities working to facilitate the reconciliation efforts of all Sudanese to ensure lasting peace and the end of oppression in Sudan and South Sudan.
Sudan Sunrise also facilitates efforts of Southern Sudanese in Southern Sudan to provide education, health care and community development.
