At Elevate, we implement projects and programs accross Sudan: from the historic deserts of Nubia to the lush forests of the Nuba mountains. We endeavor to provide disenfranchised communities accross Sudan with the opportunity to become self-sustaining, self-reliant and prosperous. Our projects are not only sustainable, but are impactful, relevant, and have a high rate of Return on Investment.
We balance maximizing the use of local resources and harnessing the benefits of smart global partnerships. At a time where the international humanitrian community faces a series of challanges, we lead the way in defining the future of international humanitrian assistance, by pioneering the principles of Localization, data driven interventions, and beneficiary led projects.
We focus on improving the lives of others by empowering communities. Our projects build upon and re-inforce Sudan's existing infrastructure and culture through the implementation of sustainable projects and programs with a special focus on health, education, self-reliance and community development. Elevate's projects provide long term durable solutions to systematic problems while offering immediate support to those in distress. Our goal is to provide projects and programs that will not only provide assistance in the moment, but will change lives for generations. Here are a few examples of our projects:
The Umdurman Maternity Hospital is Sudan's leading maternity hospital. Despite its important role in Sudan's health system, it has suffered greatly from Sudan's declining economic situation. Over the course of months, we, in collaboration with Sudan's Ministry of Health, UNICEF, and other partners have provided life saving equipment, supplies, and machinery and have provided extensive rehabilitation to completely revamp Sudan’s leading maternity hospital.
Through the implementation of this project, we have completely revitalized the Akasha Locality in historic Nubia, by providing a sustainable, impactful and environmentally friendly program that benefits not only the direct beneficiaries but the region’s entire population. Built on the already existing local knowledge and culture, this project exemplifies the future of humanitarian/developmental projects by espousing the principles of localization, sustainability and high RoI.
Despite being principally a developmental organization, at Elevate we strive to save lives and provide emergency assistance to those suffering from disaster and tragedies. At Elevate we maintain the capacity to quickly assess, monitor and intervene in crises within the first 48 hours in order to ensure maximum efficacy and mitigate morbidity and mortality. Despite Emergency Assistance not being Elevate’s focus, we have become a principal provider of emergency relief to those in the most dire of situations.
In partnership with local organizations we provide critical supplies to the most vulnerable of all sectors of society: newborn orphans. Despite the many challenges, Elevate continues to champion the needs of orphans.
Sudanese schools, teachers and of course pupils across Sudan are suffering from poor educational environments, lack of supplies, and gaps in infrastructure. At Elevate we seek to alleviate this by implementing projects and programs that undertake to greatly enhance the learning experience and provide opportunities for children to obtain an education. We do this by providing rehabilitation, supplies and equipment to dozens of schools throughout the country.
This self-reliance project seeks to provide dozens of young men and women with the skills and certification to provide themselves and their families a sustainable source of income through classes and practical sessions. At the conclusion of the term each student will be fully certified and skilled in the area of their choice, whether as mechanics, electricians, plumbers, construction workers or refrigeration technicians. This project also seeks to elevate the vocational training standards in the country.
"As a foundation that does humanitarian and developmental work in many parts of the world we rely on our close partnerships. We have found Elevate to be a highly effective and trusted partner for our work in Sudan. Their local knowledge, passion for their work, and integrity have enabled us to fund projects that have had a high impact in strengthening families and communities and meeting the most critical needs within Sudan. Elevate's focus on sustainability and sensitivity to the dynamic and changing needs within the country has made our partnership particularyly effective. We appreciate their tireless effort and proffesionalism in accomplishing this important work."
