About Us

In Darfur, in western Sudan, the war’s profound impact on the humanitarian situation in general, and on all levels of education in particular, increased the society’s need for education to rise again, to plant seeds of hope by strengthening peace and preserving the culture. The Sub-Saharan University College will help the children of displaced persons and the children of vulnerable families. Sub-Saharan University College is established to provide quality education opportunities to people in need and fill the government and private provision of higher education.

About The College

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.

THE NAME AND THE LOGO OF THE COLLEGE

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.

The Sidra Tree is a powerful plant that resists desertification. Its image in the Coll

ege’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 areresistingthedesert’sincursion 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.

AL_FASHER The Home Town of The College

Al Fashir 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 Al-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.
