We are still endeavoring to coordinate with more domestic and foreign organizations. At present we have coordination with the Kuwaiti International Charity Organization, Sudan Office .

We hope to see much more Sudanese contribution as at present the said 300 orphans are sponsored by foreign parties, particularly benevolent ladies .
