The people of South Sudan live with the constant threat of conflict coming to their village with many having already fled their home and now living in a displaced persons camp. 

Right now we’re working to reduce the malnutrition rate through our health clinics and supplementary feeding programme. We’re also teaching families how to grow crops that can be harvested more than once a year to reduce dependence on one harvest and provide food all year round. We are also working alongside the World Food Programme to provide emergency food aid around the country.
 

We are working with the people of South Sudan in building a community where children can thrive. We have already achieved great things.

school materials have been given to students in refugee camps.
people have received food in 2017.
households have been given seed, vegetable and fishing kits.
