SOS Sahel’s Tweets
We will be closing our doors on 28th February, but our website will remain live for 2 more years, so you will be able to access information and resources for some time. We will also add on a new resource soon about the history and impact of SOS Sahel, so keep your eyes peeled.

After 36 years, we completed our goal – our country programmes are independent and driving change locally in Sudan & Ethiopia. We are so proud of this achievement and couldn’t have done it without our loyal supporters – THANK YOU!

Good afternoon everybody! We have just posted our latest newsletter on our website and we think it is quite a special one... hear all about our #Sudan sand dam programme from the people that matter the most 💧👨🏾🌾🧕🏾🐪 sahel.org.uk/resources/
In the #RedSeaSmallholders tweets this week, I have saved the best til last. "We will not sit here eating our heart out , waiting for some lover to call" ❤️⏰ a fisherman quoting Donna Summer to portray their new attitude... it was an amazing and surreal moment! Happy Friday!
The impact of #RedSeaSmallholders project on lives of farmers has been impressive! Through training-by-doing where they were involved in preparing the land through to harvesting, they now have the confidence to do it themselves and are even cultivating through the winter!

The #RedSeaSmallholders project has transformed the lives of these fishermen in Arem, who can now track fish are using GPS and fish finder technology, increasing their catch substantially and reducing their fishing time 🎣 #Sudan

The #RedSeaSmallholder project worked through subsidising rather than giving tools to fishermen and farmers - this was key to its success. The people we spoke to feel ownership of their livelihoods now, and know that they are responsible for their success 🎣🌱🍃
One thing that we saw a lot of during our trip (other than goats! 🐐) was ice boxes. The project has helped make ice boxes widely accessible; this means that fishermen can keep their fish fresh for much longer 🎣🛶 #RedSeaSmallholders #Sudan

Good Morning everybody 👋 We'll be updating you more on our #RedSeaSmallholders project today so keep your eyes peeled 👀 This project, which has just ended, was funded by the and implemented by our amazing national partner SOS Sahel #Sudan

SOS Sahel Sudan have been working tirelessly throughout the #RedSeaSmallholders project in #Sudan to change the attitudes of aid dependent communities and make them leaders in their own success. Hats of to them! 🎩👏
With help from the #RedSeaSmallholders project, the women that we met are now organised, have a voice, and have an income to fund their plans. In Suakin, they are considered the best women’s association, and others come to talk to them and learn from them 👩🏾🍳🐟🙌 #Sudan
Fishermen Friends Association, made up of 206 women, is planning an extension of the restaurant 🐟🏠 "We want to make the most of the land we have here and have spaces for cold and hot drinking stations... Even when the project ends, we will continue". #RedSeaSmallholders #Sudan
4 yrs since it formed, the association now run a fish restaurant 🐟 which the project helped to refurbish & provide equipment. The women also make fishing nets & fishing tools. All the profit goes back to the association & the women 👭 #RedSeaSmallholders #Sudan
During our visit to the #RedSeaSmallholders Project #Sudan we met with three women who were members of the Fishermen Friends Association in Suakin - “Men already had a fishermen’s association and so we thought about starting one just for women"
Morning guys! We're back from our visit to #Sudan 🇸🇩 We left Khartoum at 38 degrees and landed in UK at -1 ❄️ I'll be tweeting some highlights of our trip this week... stay tuned!
