Use your Talents to Help Darfur!

OneBigU is partnered with Help Darfur Now (HDN), a US-base student charity in support of Darfur. All donations are given to HDN to support relief efforts in Darfur.

HDN is a non-profit organization geared specifically for students and their families that is dedicated to raising funds for and awareness of the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Prominent individuals such as Senator Barack Obama, George Clooney and Russell Simmons endorse HDN. Founded by three New Jersey high school students in 2005, HDN now has more than 100 chapters throughout the US.

In the Darfur region of western Sudan, a genocide is occurring. Each day, civilians face prospects of mass killings, torture, rape, destruction of villages, theft and other human rights abuses at the hands of the Janjaweed militias - bands of fighters backed by the Sudanese Government.

Since the start of the conflict in Darfur in February 2003:

- More than 3 million people have been affected by the crisis.
- More than 400,000 people have died from conflict and diseases.
- 2.5 million civilians have been internally displaced by the conflict.
- 200,000 Darfurians have sought refuge in neighboring Chad.
