Sudan needs you now more than ever. Join us to rebuild communities, strengthen skills, and empower the next generation of leaders.
In 2026, SAMA is proudly launching Back to Build, an initiative focused on rebuilding Sudan through knowledge, skills, and leadership. Following a challenging year in 2025, when security constraints limited clinical missions, we are pivoting toward education-focused, locally anchored engagements that strengthen Sudan’s health and education systems for the long term.
By leveraging the expertise of Sudanese-origin professionals and global partners, Back to Build empowers the next generation of Sudanese leaders through training, and mentorship, creating a foundation for sustainable development.
