About Us
Who we are, what we believe and how we are governed.
Who we are
Qamar Al-Salam Organization for Sustainable Development is a Sudanese, women-led, non-governmental and non-profit organisation based in Port Sudan. We work in conflict-affected and marginalised areas with a special focus on women, young people and vulnerable groups, from emergency relief for families displaced by war to the long work of rights, justice and dialogue.
Since the war began in April 2023, the needs of displaced families have shaped our work. We respond where people have fled to, and we keep working for the rights, justice and dialogue that lasting peace depends on.
Our vision
A future where peace, equality and resilience thrive in conflict-affected and marginalised areas, especially for women, young people and vulnerable populations.
