Who We Are

The Gena Foundation was founded in the United States by natives of Sudan who have seen first hand, the challenges faced by the people of their country and by displaced people worldwide. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to providing service through designing and implementing programs to help the people of Sudan in Health, Education, Humanitarian Assistance and General Awareness. We strive to bring hope and assistance to our beloved Sudanese people in the USA and those still living in Sudan.

Welcome

Humanitarian Situation In Sudan:

BECOME AWARE:

Sudan is a beautiful country with many beautiful hard working people. The lives of these people have been permanently changed due to recent events such as the widely publicized humanitarian crisis in Darfur. Not as widely known however is a situation developing in the Nuba Mountain Region of Sudan that shows unfortunately familiar parallels to the Darfur crisis. We at the Gena Foundation urge deeper investigation from government, media, and civilians alike to the Nuba Mountains of Sudan.

The crisis in Darfur is over four years old. The humanitarian, security, and political situations continue to deteriorate. The atrocities continue; people are still dying in large numbers as a result of malnutrition and disease. The situation remains catastrophic due to ongoing state-sponsored violence, the lack of a comprehensive humanitarian strategic plan, and the weakened state of displaced Sudanese people. Refugees and internally displaced civilians (IDPs) have been homeless for long periods of time, many moving to makeshift camps in the Nuba Mountains. They are in terribly weakened states; many lack adequate shelter, clean water and food. A new famine is feared for this area. Infectious diseases will continue to rise. Conventional responses are simply inadequate to prevent increasing mortality rates. The area is very dangerous, which causes barriers to access for aid organizations. The Gena Foundation seeks to assist in this crisis by serving medical treatment and education to the IDP camps in the Nuba Region.
