The Sudanese Community Development Project (SCDP) was originally established in 2001. Following a survey conducted in the Ain Shams area of Cairo in 2005, which highlighted the many problems facing the Sudanese Refugee Community there, two members of SCDP (Deng Monybuony and Samuel Monyping) received training from Refuge Egypton the planning and implementation of community self-help projects. Immediately after the course, Deng and Samuel trained a further 18 members of SCDP and the resolution was made to open a Primary and Kindergarten School in Ain Shams, which also offered Adult Education facilities during the evenings

The aim of the SCDP is to:

To contribute to and promote social, spiritual, and economic growth within the Sudanese refugee community.

To implement the new "Youth Project". Designed to provide Sudanese youth with constructive outlets for their energy and creativity, while providing Sex Education Forums and trauma counseling to address issues of anger, bereavement, and displacement.
