MANYANG REATH KHER

MANYANG KHER started Refugee Campus as part of his organization the Humanity Helping Sudan Project, which is dedicated to providing sustainable aid for refugees who, like him, were displaced by the violence in Sudan.

Manyang's earliest memories are of war, death, and a struggle to survive. At age 3, Manyang became one of the Lost Boys, the name given to the 20,000 children who were displaced and orphaned by the civil war in Sudan. For 13 years, Manyang lived in refugee camps along the Ethiopian border, where hunger, fear, and abuse were part of his daily life. At age 17, he was given a chance to at last leave all that behind and emigrate to the United States.

Manyang knew he was one of the lucky ones. And he was determined to not take that for granted.

In the U.S., Manyang poured himself into his studies and eventually earned his degree in international law at the University of Richmond. While still in school, Manyang started Humanity Helping Sudan Project to improve the lives of those still struggling to survive in the camps he left behind.

Manyang started 734 Coffee to help fund Humanity Helping Sudan Project's programming. Today, Humanity Helping Sudan Project runs on-the-ground programs at refugee camps across the region, providing fishing and agricultural aid, community gardens, and education programs that currently reach over 40,000 displaced people.

As the founder and executive director of Humanity Helping Sudan Project, Manyang leads a team of dedicated individuals who are passionate about finding an end to the refugee crisis and helping improve the lives of those affected by it.
