SOS Sahel International UK

SOS Sahel is a development charity that works with local African organisations to support herders and farmers in Africa’s drylands. For over 30 years, SOS Sahel UK has been dedicated to relieving the poverty of marginalised groups who live in the drylands of the Sahel, the belt of semi-arid land south of the Sahara. Historically, SOS Sahel UK was an umbrella organisation with country programmes across select countries in the Sahel (our first and largest being Sudan). However, after a long and difficult process of organisational transformation motivated by grassroots, African-led development, SOS Sahel UK is now a facilitating NGO with independent national partners in Sudan, South Sudan and Ethiopia. We support our partner organisations to work with pastoralists, agro-pastoralists, fisher folk and small-holder farmers to help them protect their local environment and at the same time improve their livelihoods.
