A Clinic in the Camp: How Your Gift Brought Healthcare to Kaima

When families fleeing violence in Al Fasher and Zamzam arrived at Kaima Camp in Tawila, North Darfur, they brought almost nothing with them. No food, no shelter, and no access to healthcare. For months, when someone fell sick, families had to choose between finding money they didn't have for transportation to a distant hospital — or watching their loved one go without care.

Your donation changed that.

Thanks to supporters like you, SAMA and our local partner TADO operated a mobile clinic inside Kaima Camp from February through April 2026 — the only health facility serving the camp. In just three months, your generosity helped us reach 11,328 people with lifesaving medical care.

Here is what your support made possible:

Over 8,400 patients received outpatient consultations, with children under five making up nearly three quarters of those seen — children presenting with malnutrition, malaria, respiratory infections, and waterborne diseases. Pregnant women received prenatal and postnatal care, and eight babies were safely delivered at the clinic. More than 250 children were vaccinated, and 10 community health education sessions reached over 2,000 camp residents with vital information on hygiene, disease prevention, and safe water use.

But numbers only tell part of the story.

Salwa Ibrahim Ahmed was displaced four times before reaching Kaima — from Al Fasher, to Zamzam, back to Al Fasher, and finally to Tawila. When she arrived, there was nothing. No clinic, no medicines, no care for her family. "Before this clinic," she told us, "if someone became sick, we had to take them to a very distant health facility. Some people don't have money for transportation — they have nothing to take their sick family member to the hospital." Today, Salwa and her family have come to the clinic multiple times. Every time, the medicines they needed were there. Nothing was missing.

The need in Sudan has never been greater.

The crisis in North Darfur continues to deepen. Millions remain displaced, and the rainy season ahead brings heightened risk of malaria and cholera outbreaks. The mobile clinic must continue operating — and with your continued support, it can.

SAMA is grateful for every dollar you contributed to this campaign. You did not just fund a clinic. You gave a mother like Salwa a place to bring her family when they needed help most. Thank you for standing with the people of Sudan.
