How to apply for funding.

You can only apply for funding to projects within the scope of our three philanthropic missions.

Please make sure to familiarise yourself with the missions and if your project matches one or more of the missions before applying. In the application form, you must choose the relevant mission(s) in order to be able to apply. The three missions can overlap, and some projects and initiatives can relate to more than one mission.

The application form is in English, and you must also submit your application in English.

MSF is running a clinic in Zamzam camp, ~15km south east of El Fasher, the state capital, hosting more than 300,000 internally displaced people. MSF teams are offering Ambulatory Therapeutic Feeding services.

A rapid nutrition and mortality assessment carried out by MSF in Zamzam camp in January 2024 reveals that a deadly situation has unfolded over the past nine months

All emergency thresholds for malnutrition have been reached. Almost a quarter of children assessed in the camp were found to be suffering from acute malnutrition, with seven per cent having SAM (severe acute malnutrition) and being at immediate risk of death. , Among children aged six months to two years old, the figures were even more stark with nearly 40 per cent of this age group malnourished – 15 per cent with SAM.

The emergency threshold for SAM, which indicates that urgent action must be taken, is two percent – indicating that a serious emergency situation is present in Zamzam camp.
