Alpharetta High School Global Citizens

With your help, we can make a difference for the people of Darfur. Hundreds of people are being raped, starved and murdered by the Sudanese armed forces and a Sudanese government-backed militia known as the Janjaweed. As many as 400,000 people have died and more than 2.5 million have been left homeless. The United Nations Security Council authorized a peacekeeping force for Darfur, but the Sudanese government is continuously blocking its full deployment. Meanwhile, the calculated campaign of displacement, starvation, rape, and mass slaughter continues.

Dollars for Darfur is a national school competition to raise funds to help end the genocide in Sudan. Our school is competing with other schools across the country to show our concern about this issue.

Young people can make a difference. There are more than 27,000 high schools in the United States. If each school raised just $50, we could raise more than one million dollars. Donating through this website is simple, fast and completely secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts.

Thanks for your support as a Global Citizen.
