Walk with Sudan Campaign - Step by Step, Refuse to Look Away

Join a global challenge to walk in solidarity with the people of Sudan.

Supported by: Programme for African Leadership and the Firoz Lalji institute for Africa

Introduction

Sudan is slipping out of the world’s conscience. A nation bleeds in silence — forgotten by many, remembered by few. And we scroll, sigh, and move on. Not because we don’t care, but because we’ve learned to live with what should be unbearable.

When I first planned to walk the Camino for Sudan, it was meant to be a personal pilgrimage to raise funds for those affected by the war. But as I reflected, it became clear that this shouldn’t be one person’s walk. It should be our walk — a shared testament to the spirit of Ubuntu: “I am because you are.”

That is why the PfAL community of students, alumni, mentors, and friends is coming together for the Walk With Sudan Challenge — an act of solidarity, reflection, advocacy, and collective action.

Because when suffering becomes “someone else’s problem,” walking together reconnects us to Ubuntu — and to our shared humanity.

Why We Walk — And Why It Matters

I’ve been haunted by a thought I can’t escape: we are learning to live with the unbearable.

Wars. Displacement. Starvation. Every day, more lives lost — and yet less outrage. We scroll past the pain because it happens “somewhere else.”

But for many of us, this isn’t “somewhere else.”
It’s Africa. It’s Sudan. And our shared humanity runs deeper than borders.

Over 13 million children in Sudan are currently out of school due to conflict.

Why Education Matters Now

Beyond the immediate humanitarian crisis, Sudan’s children are facing an education emergency. Schools have been destroyed or closed, families displaced, and millions of young people are losing access to safe learning environments — with lifelong consequences.

Funds raised through this campaign will go directly to organisations supporting displaced families with essential services that help keep children safe, healthy, and able to return to learning.

A Personal Invitation

I began my Camino walk for Sudan on Thursday, 27 November.
Today, as I complete this journey, I’m inviting you — wherever you are — to join me symbolically. Walk a little. Reflect. Share. Stand in solidarity.

Let’s ensure Sudan is not forgotten.

How It Works

Each participant commits to:

• Walking a set distance in your city, campus, or community.

• Raising at least £200 to support humanitarian relief.

• Sharing your walk — post photos, reflections, or even sync your walk via Strava so we can map our steps across the world.

• Raising awareness in your networks to remind the world that Sudan matters.

This isn’t just about fundraising. It’s about standing together. When we walk, we walk for every life affected.

Our steps may feel small — a drop in the ocean — but sometimes small acts are the only protest left against a world that has gone numb.
