Until 1990s, UNHCR in cooperation with the Sudan Commissioner for Refugees (COR) provided health, basic education, and other needs to the Eritrean refugees. And Eritrean refugees<br \/>continued to be welcomed by Sudanese government until 1990.<\/p><p>After Eritrea gained its independence in 1993, the new government of Isayas Afeworki drifted into dictatorship and began implementing repressive policies, resulting in withdrawing from the repatriation accord it signed with Sudan and UNCHR, and effectively preventing Eritrean refugees from returning to their country. In addition, since the current government of Eritrea came to power, thousands of Eritreans have been fleeing the country into Eastern Sudan and Ethiopia due to massive persecution and human rights violation perpetrated against them by the regime.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

fully recognized by the UNHCR and Sudan, Eritrean refugees in Sudan began to face tremendous financial and other aid challenges, particularly two institutions: the Eritrean refugee school at Wadisherifey and the disabled Eritreans in Kassala that used to get aid from UNHCR and other agencies.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Since UNHCR aid became no longer available, Eritreans and friends of Eritreans of good will began to explore the possibilities of raising funds for both Wadisherifey Eritrean Refugee School and disabled Eritreans. In response, three nonprofit organizations were formed, now in operation worldwide. The purpose and function of these nonprofit organizations is to fill the void left by UNHCR and to raise funds through various fund raising events and cover some of the basic expenses of both the school and the disabled Eritreans. \u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/span><b><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Fundraising Update<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: small;\">1. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><b><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Eritrean Democratic Association (EDA<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: small;\">) is a California (USA) registered nonprofit association, permitted to raise funds through fund raising events around the world. The EDA has been engaged in fund raising efforts for years now in order to cover the expenses of basic school supplies for students (books, pencils, notebooks, and backpacks), wages of instructors and school guards, school furniture (desks, tables, chairs), and other overhead expenses, which are necessary to the continued functioning of the school. In the year 2012, EDA held numerous fundraising events, namely in North America (Oakland, CA; Saskatoon, Canada; Houston, TX; Washington, DC; and Frankfurt, Germany (at the Eritrean annual Frankfurt festival). Still, a number of other cities are in the process of organizing fundraising event. Part of the money raised by EDA in the year 2012 was sent to Wadisherifey School and was spent for repairing the school building (aging roof, leaking walls, faded paints of classroom walls and school furniture). Wadisherifey School has 651 pupils for the academic year of 2013\/2014 of which 574 are enrolled in elementary and 77 in middle school. The school has a registration backlog due shortage of class rooms and instructors, which all is attributed to insufficient budget. This is a worrisome situation and unless we double our efforts to raise more funds, we will have a numbers of Eritrean children with no access to education. Another major concern is shortage of drinking water and lack of good sanitation at the Wadisherifey School, which also requires funding. This is a major area of concern for EDA and other partners, and individual donors.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6238be6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6238be6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-b2adaaf\" data-id=\"b2adaaf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c077c3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c077c3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"343\" height=\"232\" src=\"https:\/\/eritreacare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DisabledVeterans2-343x232-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eritreacare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DisabledVeterans2-343x232-1.jpg 343w, https:\/\/eritreacare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DisabledVeterans2-343x232-1-300x203.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 343px) 100vw, 343px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2096017 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2096017\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Disabled Eritreans in a dire need of wheelchairs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a809b4f\" data-id=\"a809b4f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e004b11 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e004b11\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"335\" height=\"234\" src=\"https:\/\/eritreacare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DisabledVeterans-335x234-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eritreacare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DisabledVeterans-335x234-1.jpg 335w, https:\/\/eritreacare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DisabledVeterans-335x234-1-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0f0b95 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b0f0b95\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Their living place is in need of renovation<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-73f1611 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"73f1611\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-05c9582\" data-id=\"05c9582\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73fa080 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"73fa080\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Association of Disabled Eritreans (ADE)<\/strong>, a France based association, has chapters in different parts of the world.
