Para 1.20 | We are struggling to open bank accounts for the charity. We approached many banks and ll declined to open accounts for us. This is making it impossible to collect funds. Our sister organisation in the Sudan , known as SEDSO (Sudan Education Supporting Organisation), is receiving funds from North America, Canada, Australia, Gulf Stetes, and some European countries. It managed to build some new schools, refurbish some existing schools, and dig some wells. The ongoing war in the Sudan, which started in April 2023, is almost putting everything on hold. |
