Trauma Rescue Aid (TRAID)
Helping Survivors of Conflict in Sudan
Trauma Rescue Aid (TRAID) is a refugee-led, grassroots nonprofit organization founded in April 2023 in response to the devastating conflict in Sudan. We work with war-displaced communities, survivors of violence, and children affected by conflict across Sudan.
We provide psychosocial support, trauma therapy, counseling, and art-based activities such as drawing and storytelling. We also document the stories of survivors and children to promote healing, strengthen advocacy, raise awareness, and support access to justice for women and children impacted by war.
Our Programs
What We Do
Psychosocial Support
We provide trauma-informed counseling, emotional support, and mental health services for survivors of conflict, violence, and displacement.
Child Therapy Safe space
We run art therapy safe spaces where children can draw, share their stories, express emotions, and begin healing from trauma through creative therapy, psychosocial activities, and emotional support.
Women empowerment Support
We support women and girls through skills training, digital literacy, economic empowerment, and advocacy programs that promote healing, resilience, trauma awareness, and long-term empowerment.
Protection & Referrals
We help survivors access essential protection services through safe referrals for medical care, legal assistance, shelter, counseling, and other specialized support services
Emergency Response
We respond to urgent humanitarian needs by providing emergency assistance, basic relief items, psychosocial first aid, and support for vulnerable displaced families affected by conflict and crisis.
Peacebuilding & Community Dialogue
We promote peaceful coexistence through community dialogue, conflict resolution initiatives, and peacebuilding activities that strengthen trust, understanding, and social cohesion.

Testimonials
“Since I came to Uganda 5 months ago, it is only TRAID that has been able to provide me with food packages. I registered as a refugee but have never received any food or nonfood items from UNHCR. God bless you TRAID and continue to help.”
Rejoice Farida Alamin.
“All I want to say is thank you Trauma Rescue Team for not giving up on us. The food we used to receive from the UN is no more, but TRAID, you are doing your best despite the challenges. Every time you call us for food support, our hope is restored. We pray God opens more doors for you.”
Sarah Sharab Lima (Sudan refugee).
“For many months, NRC used to bring sanitary pads to the young women in the refugee community, distributing them every month. But they have stopped for the past seven months. Every day, families call me asking if TRAID can help provide pads. Mothers are struggling to manage their daughters’ needs, and some teenage girls are even forced to use pieces of cloth during their periods. The situation is very difficult, and the need for menstrual hygiene support is urgent.”
