Visits and Delegations
2022 - 2023
Mr. Davies's visit provided valuable insights and inspiration for our team, as we discussed various opportunities for collaboration and cooperation in promoting education, culture, and social development in Sudan. We look forward to working closely with the British Council to build bridges and create positive impact in our communities.
Mr. Davies's visits have been a frequent occurrence at our center, and our friendship has created numerous bridges of communication. Many delegations visiting the British Council from outside Sudan, particularly in the fields of culture, arts, and heritage, also make it a point to visit our center. This friendship has greatly assisted us in building connections with international institutions.
The exchange of ideas and experiences during Mr. Davies's visit has reinforced our commitment to fostering mutual understanding and cooperation between the UK and Sudan. We believe that through shared initiatives and projects, we can bridge differences and promote a better future for all. We are grateful for the support and guidance of the British Council in Sudan, and we are excited about the potential for future partnerships that will benefit both our organizations and the communities we serve. Thank you, Mr. Davies, for your visit and your inspiring words. We look forward to working together to make a difference in Sudan and beyond.

Welcoming USAID's OTI Director Brittany Down to Sobajo
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Ms. Brittany Down, Director of the Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) at USAID, and the esteemed TNS team for their recent visit to Sobajo. During their visit, we had the opportunity to discuss how Sobajo utilizes art, craft, and culture to promote peace, unity, and empowerment, particularly in light of the challenging situation in Sudan. We are grateful for the meaningful conversations with the Sobajo team, instructors, and learners, which have further strengthened our commitment to this vital cause.
"Empowering Displaced Communities:
Rakeeza Interactive was honored to host an important visit from the Danish Refugee Council’s Livelihood Support Team. This visit marked the beginning of our discussions on a significant project aimed at training 140 displaced women from the Mayo neighborhood in Khartoum. We take great pride in this collaboration and the impactful work we have achieved together. Following this project, our organization embarked on several similar initiatives focused on supporting displaced persons, continuing our commitment to empowering and uplifting vulnerable communities.
We were delighted to welcome the French Ambassador to Sudan, Emmanuelle Blatmann, on a significant visit that paved the way for extensive collaboration on various issues of mutual interest. The French Embassy is known for its strong commitment to supporting women in Sudan, and it was an honor to join forces on several joint projects in this important area. Our fruitful cooperation has led to meaningful and impactful initiatives, and we look forward to continuing our work together.
In addition to Ambassador Blatmann, we also had the pleasure of hosting former Ambassador Christine Robichon at Sobajo. Her visit was a testament to the long-standing friendship between the French Embassy and our organization. Ambassador Robichon's support helped solidify our collaborative efforts and set the stage for ongoing projects aimed at empowering women and fostering community development.
These visits and collaborations are moments we cherish and are proud to share as they symbolize our shared commitment to making a positive difference in the community.
