Zahara Center for Integrated Development Services

This centre has been initially established in South Kordofan State in 2011 in response to the live-threatening emergencies that faced vulnerable communities during the 2011 armed conflict between the ruling government (NCP) and its political opponent (SPLM-N). Zahra Centre for Integrated Development Services (ZCIDS) is established by some indigenous academic professors and other youth groups and experts of environmental studies and peace building. ZCIDS has been working in health, education and water sanitation activities since 2011, partially self-funded and/or though private sectors and philanthropists.
