Sudanese Culture of Sharing and Food Aid Initiative

The Sudanese culture emphasizes sharing, where those who can afford meals are now providing for neighbors in need. Mohan Nadell-Bilal established Khartoum Kitchen, an initiative to combat hunger by offering nutritious meals like lentil stew with peanut butter to approximately 400 people initially.
