The city of Kassala is situated in the east of the Sudan, directly at the border to Eritrea. Beside the native population, the majority of the people living there consists of refugees of the former civil war-area from the South-Sudan and from refugees, who escaped during the Eritrean war of independence against Ethiopia. The parish of Kassala tries hard to help both ethnic-groups.

Many of the Eritreans, who had escaped during the war of independence 1962-1991 in the Sudan, could not yet come back into their country. The children and teenagers of the Eritrean population in the Sudan need education and school. Thus first in the city of Kassala and in the some kilometers north of it situated refugee-camp Wad Sherife two refugee-schools have been established, later also in Port Sudan and in Khartum. Under very difficult circumstances the children and teenagers get instruction here. Class-student-numbers over 50 are the rule rather than an exception.
