Where they’ve been

Waging Peace has been committed to amplifying the voices of Sudanese children, telling their own stories and experiences of unimaginable suffering, by making their powerful drawings available in myriad ways.

We see ourselves as temporary ‘safekeepers’ of these drawings, until such time they can been returned to Sudan and assume their rightful place in the country’s history.

Until then we will continue to do all we can to ensure the children are heard and seen, and their extraordinary testimony is witnessed.
