Rebuilding
Our commitment to our fellow communities in Africa remains unwavering. Through strong partnerships with organizations in South Sudan, we strive to support the rebuilding of war-torn communities, both socially and economically. We are working towards a brighter and more resilient future for those who have endured hardships, ensuring that they find hope and strength to move forward.

To be in development, you have to be in peace.
Trauma Healing
We organized trauma healing workshops for women and men, equipping them with essential skills to alleviate stress, cope with grief, and rekindle hope. The participants revealed a significant demand for these services in the region, emphasizing the urgent need to mend the emotional wounds of women, children, and families who have endured the hardships of war, loss, separation, and physical harm.

Economic Empowerment
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we took action to support vulnerable communities by employing and training 15 women in mask-making. This initiative not only provided them with the means to make ends meet but also improved their livelihood skills.
​
To assist returnees from Sudan to South Sudan due to the ongoing civil war, we distributed essential non-food items such as plastic sheets for temporary shelters, sitting/sleeping mats, and 20-liter plastic jerrycans for water collection to 22 of the most vulnerable households.

Education
We are working to improve the infrastructure of a community school in Lakes State, South Sudan, by enhancing classrooms, installing solar panels, and providing teaching materials. South Sudan faces significant challenges, including a median age of 17.08 years, a 27% adult literacy rate, widespread poverty, broken families, and trauma. Education is crucial for rebuilding human, social, and financial capital; fostering self-reliance; empowering girls; addressing gender inequality; and promoting understanding, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence. This in turn helps reduce conflicts and harmful cultural practices.
