SUGGESTED ORGANIZATIONS
We recommend that you donate any proceeds from the
sale of "Stop Genocide in Sudan" t-shirts to a relief or charitable
organization that is working to aid victims and refugees or to stop
the violence in Sudan. The following is a list of suggested organizations,
with links to their Darfur-specific pages. Note that this is an incomplete
list, and that Students Against Genocide is not affiliated with any
of these organizations.
International Rescue Committee
The IRC delivers lifesaving aid in emergencies, rebuilds shattered communities,
cares for war-traumatized children, rehabilitates health care, water
and sanitation systems, reunites separated families, restores lost livelihoods,
establishes schools, trains teachers, strengthens the capacity of local
organizations and supports civil society and good-governance initiatives.
Genocide
Intervention Fund
The Genocide Intervention Fund (GIF) will combine fundraising for the
UN-supported African Union Mission in Darfur (AMIS II) with efforts
to pressure governments to pursue a comprehensive strategy to end the
genocide in Darfur.
Save Darfur
The Save Darfur Coalition, including 127 member organizations representing
more than 140 million Americans, helps people learn about the crisis
in Darfur and helps them communicate with the president and with Congress.
It believes that to end the suffering in Darfur, Americans must be aware
of the facts and that they must let their leaders know of their commitment
to ending the violence and suffering.
Oxfam
Oxfam is helping over 600,000 people in Darfur and Chad, working with
communities to fight the spread of disease and save lives. They provide
vital clean water, build latrines and washing facilities, and distribute
essential items such as buckets and jerry cans for carrying water, soap,
sanitary cloths, clean clothes, ground sheets, blankets and plastic
sheeting for building shelters.
American Jewish World Service
AJWS is a non-sectarian group whose funds are helping to rehabilitate
water sources, construct sanitation facilities, and provide basic health
care and other essential humanitarian services, including a service
program for children orphaned by the crisis.
