About Greater Rufaa
The city of Rufaa is located in Al Jazira state on the eastern banks of the Blue Nile. Rufaa is the birthplace of Boys and Girls Education in Sudan. It is where formal Education started in the Sudan when Shiekh Babiker Badri launched the first boys school in 1903. Soon after in 1907, he launched the first girls school in the country. Rufaa, the city, is populated by over 100,000 people. However, Rufaa, the district, has a population of over 300,000 people populating smaller towns and villages within the district. The people of Rufaa are highly educated and well-placed in both the public and private sectors.

Our Achievements
Since it’s founding in 2021, our Organization has achieved remarkable success relying primarily on small donations from individuals and families of the city Rufaa. Our accomplishments speak for themselves;
1- Solving the water shortage in the city caused by interruptions in the grid by installing 14 solar power systems to power water pumps, which made water from Wells accessible to all parts of the city.
2- Providing permanent solar power supply for the ICU at the city General Hospital.
3- Contributing funds raised from the individual donations in addition to providing technical service (Maintenance) to the area’s only Dialysis center.
4- Contributing funding for the relief efforts to feed victims in area displaced by the horrific war that displaced most of the city’s residents.
5- Contributing funds raised from individual donors to replace Solar power panels deliberately targeted and hence damaged by the fighting party that maintained control over the city during the war.
