Section 8: Sponsors (& conclusion)

With the extreme corruption in the Sudanese government, international intervention is inevitable. My proposed solutions suggest that the majority of the fixes made in Sudan be due to American, or possibly a multitude of countries’ assistance. Therefore, the main sponsor of my proposed solution is The United States or other countries that offer help.

Within the United States, there are multiple humanitarian efforts to supply water to suffering countries like Sudan. The “Water for Sudan” program is currently working to drill wells and bring fresh, clean water to the country (“Home”). The program focuses on providing a larger numbers of wells so that the scarce amount of water wells doesn’t cause people to walk multiple miles to the nearest water source in a summer that reaches above 120 degrees fahrenheit. “The Water Project” is another effort to provide water for Sudan (“Water In Crisis”). The Water Project also focuses on drilling wells throughout Sudan to provide those in desperate need with their basic resource. The continuous funding of these programs could be another already established and impactful way to provide water to Sudan to drink and to use for agriculture.

The International Fertilizer Development Center is a development group currently working on a very small scale to educate farmers around the world and in Sudan (“IFDC”). With improved funding in the IFDC and increasing their role on the education of farmers, the IFDC could work as a sponsor for the education of farmers in Sudan if the funding and support for the program was increased. 

Among these help foundations, many are donation based and rely upon the money of those who contribute to charities. Therefore, you and I can become a sponsor of creating a better life in Sudan. Water for Sudan and The Water Project are nearly wholly donation based. MercyCorp, UNHCR, Help Sudan International, Care, and many other programs require the money from the pockets of people like you and I.

Although these proposed solutions work as a very difficult, time consuming, financially active process, Sudan is among one of the most struggling countries on the planet. In order to resolve and begin to recover the country of Sudan, it is going to require maximum effort and focus from the global community on the country. If the solutions I proposed happened to be followed, the lives of many Sudanese people would change for the better. Mothers would be able to live in happiness knowing that their child will not die of starvation, Families would no longer be torn apart because of harsh displacement. Communities would come together in unity without their current worries about whether they or their family will live to see tomorrow.  The members of a poverty stricken and corrupt country would begin to see the fundamental rights and nutritional basics that every human being deserves.
