Our Programs
Our programs focus on supporting, learning, and preserving what people carry with them.
Community Conversations
We bring people together to talk. About where we come from, what we’ve lived through, and what we’re carrying now. These are small, grounded conversations where people can speak freely, listen to each other, and feel less alone in their experiences.
Resource Sharing and Community Support
A lot of what we do is connecting people to what they need and to each other. That might be sharing information, helping someone navigate a problem, or making sure resources reach the right people
Podcast
A space for people to talk, argue, disagree, remember, and sometimes say what they’ve been holding in. It brings together Sudanese voices, especially young people, across Sudan and the diaspora.
Travel Abroad and Exchange Program
This program involves traveling to refugee camps in neighboring countries to spend time with Darfuri communities who were forced to flee. The point is to listen, not study or document from a distance. We learn how people are living now, what has changed since displacement, and what it means to survive across borders.
Documentary and Testimony Project
This project records testimonies from people who witnessed or survived violence in Sudan. In partnership with The Last Witness in Darfur, we help preserve these accounts so they are not lost or erased. This work is about memory, truth, and keeping record when justice is delayed.
Cookbook Project
This cookbook documents how food and cooking changed through drought, war, and displacement. It looks at what people cooked before, what became impossible to make, and how recipes were adapted over time. Each dish is shared alongside short stories that explain the conditions people were living under and the choices they had to make to survive.
remembering
Oral History
This project preserves lived memory through recorded conversations, storytelling, and reflection. It is about recording memories and stories that don’t usually get written down. It holds the voices of people affected by genocide and displacement, and honors both those who were lost and those who are still here. These stories carry history, culture, and ways of remembering that might otherwise disappear.
DDC Remittance Fund
The Darfur Diaspora Collective Remittance Fund is an initiative to provide direct financial support to families in Darfur and displaced Sudanese communities affected by war, famine, and displacement.
Remittance is recognized globally as one of the most effective and dignified forms of aid, because it allows families to decide their own priorities while maintaining their autonomy. Unlike large-scale humanitarian aid that often gets delayed or filtered through intermediaries, remittances go directly to households and sustain local markets and community resilience. They also avoid the high administrative and overhead costs that consume a large portion of traditional aid budgets. Every dollar donated goes straight to the people who need it most.
By centering remittance-based support, DDC aims to transform diaspora solidarity into tangible relief, rooted in dignity, autonomy, and self-determination.
