Sacha Baron Cohen Donates $500K To Charities In Sudan


Sacha Baron Cohen on Thursday pledged $500,000 in donations to the International Rescue Committee and Save the Children USA in Sudan.

Sacha Baron Cohen on Thursday pledged $500,000 in donations to the International Rescue Committee and Save the Children USA to aid in their work in war-torn Sudan, where 11 million people have been displaced and the country faces the worst levels of famine it has ever seen. “Right now, there are 25.6 million people experiencing hunger in Sudan, a country which is swiftly moving towards the worst famine seen in decades, yet this crisis is receiving alarmingly little attention,” said the Oscar-nominated Baron Cohen, who says the charities are “delivering essential nutrition, water, sanitation, and health services to those most in need.” With Sacha’s generous donation Save the Children can reach over 10,000 people in Sudan — helping families with cash assistance, establishing mobile health clinics, providing safe drinking water and creating child-friendly spaces.
