humanitarian news and anaylsis

The numbers 1 to 400,000 cover the 40 panels of The Darfur Wall. Each number represents a person killed in Darfur. By donating $1 or more you can light a number, turning it from dark gray to brilliant white. As we light the wall, we acknowledge the importance of each life lost, we cast light upon a tragedy too many have ignored, and we overcome one barrier to peace.

Now entering its fifth year, the Darfur crisis continues to be one of the world’s largest concentrations of human suffering. The sheer enormity of the crisis is almost unimaginable. 2.5 million people have been forced to flee their homes and are living in vast, crowded camps in both Darfur and across the border in Chad.
