It was established to work effectively and closely within its ecosystem at the local, regional, and international levels. Sharik operates in all states of Sudan through its Community Development Centers (Development Towers), which are interconnected and owned by local community stakeholders.

These interconnected towers strive to achieve the desired interests of their communities and enhance bonds of synergy and solidarity among people. Sharik accomplishes this by providing services in its various fields of expertise, developing information systems, data, research, projects, and strategies, formulating public policies, and focusing on capacity building. It also offers technical support and manages and develops community assets, including human, social, institutional, physical, environmental, political, and financial resources.

This structure grants a high degree of autonomy and flexibility to different teams while ensuring cohesion and alignment with the foundation’s overall strategy. It unifies efforts within a single system that operates effectively through open, multi-level partnerships and adheres to the principles and ethics established by the foundation.
