We here at Let Kindness Grow have been following this evolving humanitarian crisis since 2023 and have provided links to help in the growing refugee and hunger emergency. This situation in the last handful of months, weeks and days has become a far more dire catastrophe. The genocide that is happening in the Darfur region of Sudan and these appalling acts of violence need to stop it immediately. We believe it will take the world to make this happen, so don't turn away from this.
Please take the time to read and research for yourself the history that is happening here and we have links in ways that you can help.
