'Now I've lost everything': Conflict in Sudan has forced millions to seek safety in neighbouring countries, where they face an uncertain future. | IFRC
The conflict in Sudan has forced millions of people to flee their homes, seeking safety across borders in neighbouring countries. In refugee camps in Chad and South Sudan, local Red Cross volunteers work tirelessly to help people every day with support from IFRC. But for people who've lost everything, insecurity and lack of resources make for a very uncertain future.

Why the Canadian Red Cross uses direct mail to fundraise - Canadian Red Cross
One way we reach these donors and supporters is through the mail. Sending a letter thanking our donors for their past support and asking if they would like to donate again remains an important source of revenue. In some instances, donors also receive a small gift in the mail, such as a pen, or a calendar. These small cost-effective gifts are appreciated by many donors and greatly increase the overall revenue raised.

Canadian Red Cross @redcrosscanada.bsky.social · 10/04/2026
Thank you for your feedback. The costs to run the mail program at the Red Cross are greatly outweighed by the financial return which allows us to run our programs and services. However, we understand not everyone wants to receive our mailings.
