'We have no future now'

Winny Abzala fled Khartoum in Sudan where fighting raged outside her home. She left her home there with five children – but by the time she reached the border with South Sudan one of her children, a daughter, had died. She had become ill on the journey and with no access to medicine or doctors, she did not survive.

Winny says "We have no future now. I am alone with my four children, carrying the loss of my daughter forever. I don’t think I’ll ever be happy again." 

Winny and her children live in a refugee camp where they struggle to have enough to eat, to cope with the trauma of what they’ve been through and to think about the future.  

"It helps to share the devastating pain and loss of what I’ve been through with others, but I still feel completely alone. Alone in a foreign country with my children."

We’re there before, during and after a crisis or disaster, to save lives and support people long term.
