The National Students Welfare Fund (NSWF) – Khartoum State Secretariat – reviewed its achievements during the first three quarters of 2026 before the state’s strategic team, headed by Dr. Essam Batran, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council for Strategy and Information.

The Fund’s Secretary in the state, Mr. Mohamed Ahmed Hussein Kaltous, presented a report on performance within the framework of the 2026-2036 Recovery and Reconstruction Strategy. He explained that 9,200 students benefited from income-generating projects, and 6,600 students benefited from the interest-free loan project. He also noted the provision of free meals to 10,000 students and the stabilization of meal prices.

The achievements included psychological counseling and social cohesion programs, training and digital transformation initiatives, dormitory maintenance, and sanitation improvements.

In the rehabilitation file, the report indicated the rehabilitation of 23 dormitories accommodating 3,340 students, with a completion rate of 80%, at a cost of 15 billion Sudanese pounds, equivalent to $3 million. The fund’s overall performance reached 83% of its target for the first half of the year.

The strategic team commended the fund’s efforts and its partnership with the state government, emphasizing that the return of university students to Khartoum is a key indicator of the return and recovery process.
