Every Village meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

Aid Sudan is an inter-denominational, non-profit organization working in three locations across the U.S. (Dallas, Nashville and Houston) and in several locations in southern Sudan, impacting southern Sudanese in both physical and spiritual ways. The Moses Project involves the training, sending and supporting of southern Sudanese in the U.S. as they return to southern Sudan as missionaries to their own people. Launched in September 2007, the Moses Project provides extensive training in Chronological Bible Storying, a highly effective tool in communicating an oral Bible to those who cannot read or write. Additional training includes the areas of Aid Sudan’s Genesis Project – water, education, health and the church - as well as cross-cultural preparation, since many southern Sudanese have not returned to southern Sudan in twenty years. They also receive counseling sessions to work through the challenges of many years past. Missionaries are asked to make a three-year commitment, alternating time between the U.S. and southern Sudan. Aid Sudan’s Radio Station Project was designed to bring God’s Word to the masses using the airwaves. Based in our office in Kampala, Uganda, Aid Sudan’s Radio Station Project includes a satellite uplink that broadcasts to repeater stations across southern Sudan. This radio station content includes the Word of God in the tribal languages of Sudan and health & hygiene training, as well as local and international news, impacting several million southern Sudanese as multiple repeater stations are added. In conjunction with repeater stations placed in targeted regions, Aid Sudan distributes hand-held, solar-powered radios tuned into our station. In villages with a radio tower, hand-held, solar-powered radios are distributed among the people so they can listen to the broadcasts. Impacting 10-15 people each, the hand-held radios broadcast the programming recorded by our Moses Project missionaries and nurture the spread of the gospel from hut to hut across southern Sudan. Find out how you can get involved through our Radio10 campaign.
