The war between the countries of the Horn of Africa led to the emigration of large numbers of Eritreans to Sudan, and left behind many children suffering harsh conditions such as homelessness, loss and hunger.
In the face of those tragic circumstances and after extensive study, the Society decided to implement a project to protect and care for these children. The representatives of the Society met with the Sudanese President Jaafar AlNumeiri at the time, and presented him with the idea of the project. Further, they submitted a request to allocate land for the establishment of the project, whereby the idea was approved by him, and the Society was granted a land area of 50,000 (fifty thousand) acres on which a modern village was established in an area 400 km from the Sudanese capital. That village was provided with a hospital, a mosque, and schools for children. It included four thousand children, 10% of whom were Sudanese.
The Society desired that this village to be self-sufficient, and therefore it established three projects, namely the electric bakery, breeding poultry and cows, and the third was for the cultivation of vegetables and fruits. Water pumps were provided which turned the dry land into a productive green land. The village has developed after that to be able to finance itself and was supporting these children from the proceeds of charitable organizations and projects provided to the Women’s Cultural and Social Society.
