About Us

Welcome to SACDO (Sudanese American Community Development Organization), a non-profit organization based in Columbus, Ohio. Since our establishment in 2001, we have been dedicated to making a positive impact in our community and providing support to immigrants and refugees displaced by the war in Sudan.

Our Mission: At SACDO, our mission is twofold: to empower individuals and promote community development, and to offer assistance and support to immigrants and refugees affected by the war in Sudan. We believe in providing a safe and nurturing environment that helps individuals rebuild their lives and thrive in their new communities.

Our Programs: We offer a comprehensive range of programs designed to address the unique needs of immigrants and refugees, as well as the broader community. Our tutoring program provides academic support and language assistance to help individuals acquire the necessary skills for success in their new environment.

Recognizing the challenges faced by immigrants and refugees in adjusting to a new culture, we provide cultural orientation and integration programs that promote understanding and inclusion. We also offer legal assistance and guidance to help individuals navigate the complex immigration system and access the necessary resources for their resettlement.

Additionally, we collaborate with local organizations and agencies to provide vital services such as healthcare access, housing assistance, employment training, and vocational support. Our aim is to equip individuals with the tools they need to become self-reliant and establish a stable and fulfilling life in their new home.

Our Impact: SACDO has played a significant role in supporting immigrants and refugees displaced by the war in Sudan, offering them a sense of belonging, resources, and opportunities for growth. We have witnessed countless success stories of individuals and families rebuilding their lives, finding employment, and contributing positively to their communities.
