The name and the Logo of the College
The Sidra Tree is a powerful plant that resists desertification. Its image in the College’s logo signifies its desert location. The image of a book symbolizes science and knowledge to keep the land green
Why Sub Saharan College in Darfur?
Darfur is the first geographical region separating the desert north and the green South. We are resisting the desert ’s incursion in the South by raising the awareness of the community about the need to protect the environment. We are pursuing research to stop desertification and drought, and to develop desert areas using the latest technology, land management practices, and resources. Later comes the study of the most common diseases of sub-Saharan Africa to uncover new treatments from environmental sources.
The History of the College
The establishment of a university college in accordance with internationally recognized standards of university education, providing services and knowledge to all the people of the Sudan, in a spirit of peace, has been a challenging dream. Dr. Sulaiman Abdulkarim Giddo, has been dedicated to the idea since 1997. After twenty years of persistent effort to achieve that goal, the dream came true in 2017 with the opening of Sub-Saharan University College (SSUC) in El Fasher, North Darfur, Sudan..
Dr. Sulaiman and his team – Susan Burgess-Lent, dedicated supporter David Frieze and his family, Ante up for African, and Members of the Board of Directors – were able to assist over sixty thousand students in North Darfur and in Eastern Chad between 2006-2010.
Finally Sub-Saharan University College is opening, to provide quality education opportunities to people in need, and to fill the gap in government and private provision of higher education reached %21 according to the 2015 statistics of general education planning in the Sudan.
El Fasher City
El Fasher is the historical and political capital city of Darfur, Sudan. It is a large City in the Darfur region of northwestern Sudan. Recently the city has experienced a significant economic and population boom due to nearby AbuShouk and AlSalam IDP camps.
We have chosen El-Fasher as a home for Sub-Saharan for its prominent location to serve the people who are in need and to resemble and reflect the purpose of the Sub-Saharan mission and vision.
Sub-Saharan
Africa’s beauty is characterized by the verdant nature of the south and the arid north separated by the largest desert in the world – the Sahara. It divides the continent into countries north of the Sahara and forty-eight sub-Saharan countries, inhabited by about one billion citizens, with many agriculture, grazing, and mining activities. The sub-Saharan countries represent the future of the world because they reap their vast resources from land not yet fully exploited for economic growth to serve their diverse social and cultural needs. We believe in the pioneering role of a specialized educational institution to preserve and develop scientific research that benefits the entire content; hence, the name Sub-Saharan University College.
