ASSIST is NNGO formed in 2000 to response to the humanitarian situation, particularly conditions of the civilian population affected by conflict in Sudan.

WATAN is a leading Civil Society Organization delivering emergency relief, third sector support and long-term international development projects. WATAN is committed to helping people and reviving communities. WATAN is independent, non-governmental, apolitical and nonsectarian organization. We operate several integrated programs with the aim of addressing humanitarian emergency response and sustainable community revival through holistic and transformative approach. We believe in the role of Civil Society in the various phases of intervention. Thus, we invest in supporting and developing Civil Society in our areas of reach. We also create platforms for coordination and integration to maximize impact on communities served. To achieve our goal, we seek to be the preferred partner for international agencies in areas of specialization and reach. WATAN was established formally in Turkey in 2012 building on an extensive voluntary-base community development work going back to 2006.

Our main objective is to increase the scale of our work and reach more children in conflict areas. In 2015, the number of children, young people and adults who received direct support from us was 126,000.

The objective of the water supply and environmental sanitation policy is to ensure adequate and sustainable domestic water supply and Environmental sanitation services and hygienic practices for all rural, urban and nomadic people of the northern states of Sudan.
