Since 2020, UWC Sudan has selected 33 students to attend UWC schools. Despite the challenges posed by war, UWC Sudan’s volunteers remain committed to providing life-changing educational opportunities to students affected by conflict. UWC Sudan National Committee volunteer, Amna, shared: 

“We actively identify and support students from diverse backgrounds and regions in Sudan, particularly those affected by conflicts like Darfur and the current war. Despite fundraising challenges due to economic instability, we work to ensure that students on full scholarships can attend UWC without financial barriers such as flight costs or pocket money. We provide round-the-clock support for applicants and their families, addressing challenges like displacement, emotional stress and safe travel routes. Furthermore, we advocate for Sudan's representation within the global UWC movement, emphasising the role of education in rebuilding nations affected by conflict and war.”

Nabwia Mohamed, a current Sudanese student at UWC Robert Bosch College, fled the war in Khartoum nearly two years ago to pursue her dream of studying at UWC. Now in her second year, she has led a successful fundraising campaign that provided hygiene products and health education to 565 women affected by conflict in Sudan. Reflecting on her journey, she says:
