Our Mission

Sudan Prisons Medical Outreach:

28 November-12 December 2011:

Gena Foundation is concerned about children and families who are separated and sometimes abandoned by the imprisonment of a loved ones. Children and families are often the most unseen and neglected victims of crimes.In partnership with medical aid groups, Gena Foundation medical outreach Program provides medical, dental, surgical, gynecological and optometric care to prisoners without sufficient access to medical care. This is done through short-term projects engaging volunteer medical providers associated with our partner organizations from Germany and the United States in collaboration with local medical providers recruited through the local NGOs. The on-site assessment for the medical outreach was conducted in April of 2011 by Gena Foundation,Sawid Health Organization and Prison Fellowship International,which is partnering with Humedica International, a German-based medical team in the implementation of this medical project. Gena Foundation in cooperation with Prison Fellowship International, Humedica International and the network of local NGOs will be providing free of charge medical services and a number of critical medical equipments and supplies will be donated to the Prison service to help build its capacity.In the following prisons in Khartoum State,(Kobar Men's Prison, Al Huda Prison, Soba Men's Prison, Omdurman Women's Prison, Dabak Men's Prison) it is estimated that between 3000 and 3500 inmates will be treated by the medical team. Our goal is to use this outreach as a model and inspiration to local medical providers and other professionals to join Gena in service to inmates, ex-inmates and their families. We also like to facilitate discussion between the Humedica team and the local team to identify areas of partnership for the future.
