This Sudanese mother adopted an orphan who lost his family in the ongoing Sudan civil war.
Hundreds of thousands of Sudanese have fled to neighbouring Egypt since the outbreak of the war in April 2023. At six million, Sudan hosted the second-highest number of internally displaced people recorded in one country.
The year-long Sudanese civil war, often described as a forgotten crisis, has also pushed 18 million people to the brink of famine.

Stuart Ritchie, director of wealth advice at AES International, says children cannot learn something overnight, so it helps to have a fun routine that keeps them engaged and interested.
“I explain to my daughter that the money I draw from an ATM or the money on my bank card doesn’t just magically appear – it’s money I have earned from my job. I show her how this works by giving her little chores around the house so she can earn pocket money,” says Mr Ritchie.
His daughter is allowed to spend half of her pocket money, while the other half goes into a bank account. When this money hits a certain milestone, Mr Ritchie rewards his daughter with a small lump sum.
He also recommends books that teach the importance of money management for children, such as The Squirrel Manifesto by Ric Edelman and Jean Edelman.
