Empowering Rural Villages in South Sudan

Sudan Development Foundation, SUDEF is a non-profit working in South Sudan in partnership with rural villages to improve their quality of life. Our community based approach recognizes the resilience, the shared responsibility and the on-going commitment necessary to establish self-reliant, healthy communities that build lasting peace.

Creating solutions to the challenges of rural development requires working together with communities, local government and other NGO’s to create a long term commitment beyond the life of the initial project.

The people of South Sudan are moving forward and building a new nation. They have shown incredible resilience, commitment and fortitude. Please join us in helping them build a healthy, independent and productive community and promising future.
