Our Journey

A brief look at how Waey Organization evolved through pivotal moments in Sudan's recent history.

2017: Before the Revolution

Born from a 2016 workshop, Waey laid its foundation in grassroots civic education. Despite the challenges of the civic space, we focused on building local youth capacities and spreading fundamental human rights awareness.

2019: After the Revolution

The democratic transition opened new horizons. Waey rapidly expanded its scope, leading nationwide peacebuilding dialogues, anti-corruption campaigns, and openly advocating for institutional reforms alongside youth movements.

2023 - Present: After the War

Adapting to profound crisis, Waey extended its arms across borders. We now actively operate to combat hate speech fueling the conflict, while concurrently providing vital support frameworks for Sudanese refugees in Uganda and Egypt.
