What’s the cause?
The war in Sudan has been raging for more than 3 years now. Often coined “the forgotten war”, an end to the atrocities seems far away right now. People on the ground need the basics like medical supplies, and food, but also training and new treatment facilities.
SAPA (Sudanese American Physician Association) is a humanitarian organization that provides aid to communities in Sudan and beyond. Through medical missions, provider training, advocacy, and community education, SAPA brings together healthcare professionals dedicated to improving health outcomes and building sustainable medical capacity.
📍 Where
This gathering is part of Kindred’s ongoing effort to help members connect locally through simple, repeatable moments of togetherness. Hosting and traveling through Kindred is about trust, generosity, and real human connection, and this is a chance to experience that spirit in person.
Whether you’re brand new or have been part of the community for years, we’d love to see you there.
