The Darfur Wall

Darfur, Sudan is the site of the world's most dire crisis. Since 2003, over 400,000 people have died at the hands of the Sudanese government and Janjaweed militias. Millions have been forced from their homes. We the international community have done little to stop the evident genocide.

The Darfur Wall is a grid of the numbers 1 through to 400,000
covering the 40 panels of The Darfur Wall website. Each number represents a person killed in Darfur. By donating $1 or more you can light up your chosen number or a randomly generated number, turning it from dark grey to brilliant white. Your light will acknowledge the importance of each life lost, and express your support for action to be taken for people caught up in this tragedy.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from The Darfur Wall are donated, in equal parts, to these four organisations working in Darfur:
• Doctors Without Borders
• Save the Children
• Save Darfur
• Sudan Aid Fund / Eric Reeves

The Darfur wall was conceived and developed by Dan, Jonah, and Matt Burke, a father and two sons, two software engineers and a psychologist. Together they are the Directors of The Darfur Foundation, which is a newly formed non-profit based in Seattle. The Foundation's sole aim is to raise money to support peace in Darfur. The three Burkes pay the Foundation's expenses from their own pockets so that the Foundation can donate the full amount of the money given.

Why not donate a dollar, and light up a number?
