About Us: The Sudanese American Community of Southern California

Welcome to the Sudanese American Community of Southern California, a beacon of unity, culture, and support for the Sudanese diaspora and their allies in the southern region of the Golden State. As a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, we were founded in 2021 with a profound commitment to serving our community through a range of cultural, educational, and social initiatives.

Our Mission

Our mission is to foster a vibrant and supportive community that celebrates Sudanese culture, heritage, and values. We aim to provide a platform for our members to connect, share, and grow together, while also extending a hand of support to those in need. Through cultural events, educational programs, and community service, we strive to promote understanding, inclusivity, and solidarity both within our community and beyond.

Our Vision

We envision a world where the Sudanese American community in Southern California is recognized and celebrated for its rich cultural heritage, contributions, and resilience.
