The Sudanese Diaspora

The Sudanese Diaspora - comprised of individuals from myriad ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds - is a critical component of the Banaa network

  1. Banaa applies the principle of equitable representation reflexively: in the very task of empowering Sudanese citizens, Banaa relies on the Sudanese Diaspora for leadership and guidance.

  2. The Diaspora offers a wealth of opportunities during the Banaa scholar's course of study for support and encouragement.

  3. Banaa chapters each forge ties to the local Sudanese Diaspora community

  4. There are many cultural support groups that provide key services for refugee and immigrant communities around the country. These organizations will work with Banaa and the Sudanese Diaspora to support the Banaa scholars.
