Thank you for visiting Tappan's Dollars for Darfur page.

With your help, we can make a difference for the people of Darfur. Hundreds of people are being raped, starved and murdered by the Sudanese armed forces and a Sudanese government-backed militia known as the Janjaweed. As many as 400,000 people have died and more than 2.5 million have been left homeless. The United Nations Security Council authorized a peacekeeping force for Darfur, but the Sudanese government is continuously blocking its full deployment. Meanwhile, the calculated campaign of displacement, starvation, rape, and mass slaughter continues.

Young people can make a difference. Donating through this website is simple, fast and completely secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts.

Half the funds raised will go to support the advocacy efforts of the Save Darfur Coalition. The other half will go to humanitarian relief efforts on the ground.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might also wish to donate.
