Omar Farooq: A Continued Commitment to Sudanese Refugees

Omar Farooq, a leading Bahraini filmmaker and digital creator, and long-standing UNHCR supporter, conducted his second field mission to support displaced Sudanese through Islamic philanthropy advocacy and fundraising.

Following his previous mission to the border of Sudan and South Sudan, Omar travelled to the border of Sudan and Chad in 2025 to amplify the scale of displacement linked to the Sudan crisis and to highlight the growing needs of displaced families. Through on-the-ground storytelling and direct engagement with affected communities and frontline responders, the mission brought audiences closer to the reality of forced displacement and strengthened public understanding of the urgent humanitarian needs.

Omar’s mission to Chad generated strong supporter engagement across his platforms and was paired with a clear call-to-action to give. The mission content achieved over 8.1 million views and generated 965,000 engagements across platforms, reflecting strong resonance and shareability among audiences.

As a result of this mission and its associated fundraising campaign, Omar’s outreach helped raise support for 1,044 displaced families through our Zakat program. Building on the momentum and credibility established during his first mission to South Sudan, this second mission further demonstrated the role of trusted creators in mobilizing Islamic philanthropy for humanitarian response through authentic content, high-impact visibility, and meaningful public engagement.
