Chana fled his home in 2014 after the Sudanese government bombed his village. He arrived in Yida Refugee Camp several days later.
As a teacher, Chana was heartbroken to discover the majority of people living in Yida were children. He began teaching under a tree with a half broken chalkboard.
Operation Broken Silence exists to serve brave Sudanese just like him. More on that in a moment.
Sudan is reeling from crisis.
Since 1989, one of the most brutal regimes in history has waged multiple wars against ordinary Sudanese who stand up for human dignity and freedom. Over 3 million people have perished, with millions more made homeless.
Chana is from the southern Nuba Mountains region. His people have now survived two attempted genocides. He is one of countless survivors working to end the oppression that all people in Sudan face.
Sadly, the Nuba Mountains are only one corner of Sudan where so many lives are in danger.
We can change the way this story ends.
Operation Broken Silence is building a global movement to empower the Sudanese people through innovative programs as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
For over a decade, we've allied people just like you with incredible Sudanese heroes like Chana. Together we are making the story of Sudan known, empowering survivors, and helping to build a renewed Sudan from the ground up. Here’s how.
