With a current operational volume of approximately €9,3 millions, TGH’s mission in Sudan is supported by key donors including ECHO, OCHA-SHF, CDCS and IFSAN (French Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

TGH currently employs over 90 national staff across field locations including Geneina and Foro Baranga (West Darfur); Golo, and Zalingei (Central Darfur); Tawila (North Darfur); Wad Madani (Jazirah) and Port Sudan (Red Sea).
