Tents of Hope

This November, Darfur activists around the world will speak out together for the children of Darfur. Activists will participate in Tents of Hope, a project that unites the global Darfur movement on a single day to show support for children suffering through genocide.

Tents of Hope asks communities to respond to the crisis in Darfur by building a tent and making it their own work of art – a simple symbol hope for the millions of Darfurians driven from their homes.

In November, communities will hold events around their Tents of Hope to remind world leaders that the children of Darfur have suffered for far too long.

Five years of suffering

Thousands of Darfuri children will reach their fifth birthdays this year without ever knowing peace. Their entire lives, their government has tried to massacre them and the world has failed to protect them.

Inside refugee and displaced persons' camps, these children struggle with the trauma of the atrocities they have witnessed. Basic necessities are scarce, domestic violence is rampant, and a lack of education threatens children's future even if they escape the violence.

Outside the camps, children live in fear of attacks on their villages. Their homes and schools are routinely destroyed and several children are captured and drafted into armies of child soldiers. Children didn’t initiate the violence—they just suffer from it.
