Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025
A huge thank you to everyone who generously donated to our Big Give Campaign, we’re delighted to have met our target and raised an incredible £12,400. These vital funds will help us to continue our important work empowering women through education in Sudan and South Sudan. We are grateful to Coles- Medlock Foundation for contributing to the match-funds.
WEP focuses on providing education to the most disadvantaged women and girls in Sudan and South Sudan.
In South Sudan our programmes pay the fees and living expenses enabling young women to take higher education courses in healthcare, midwifery and rural development, and to pay the fees of women taking adult education and literacy courses.
In Sudan, the devastating civil war has caused a huge displacement of people, and our students are now scattered throughout the country and beyond its borders. Some of the universities were seriously damaged, but the staff relocated to Cairo, from where they deliver their degree courses online. WEP continues to finance and support its university scholars, and is also helping to fund a school in Cairo for Sudanese refugee children.
Please donate to help our vital educational programmes for Sudanese and South Sudanese women and girls.
Thank you.
Power to the Powerless through Education
Women’s Education Partnership has been funding educational projects in Sudan and what is now South Sudan, since 1999. Our mission is to improve the lives of women and children, with a particular focus on those from marginalised areas, those experiencing displacement and those will no other support.
In Sudan and South Sudan, literacy rates are significantly lower for women than men. Indeed, many women, displaced through civil unrest or economic hardship, may have had no education at all. Our aim is to empower disadvantaged women so that they may lead better lives. We do this through three main targeted aims:<
– To develop literacy and training programmes<
– To support education programmes to prepare women for higher education<
– To fund university scholarships for women<
