What We Do
Making a Difference
Projects by Southern Sudan Humanitarian
Orphan Education
We build schools and hire teachers in areas where there is no local education opportunity for orphans and other children in South Sudan. We also provide meals for students in some of these schools, with the assistance of local volunteers.
Emergency Food Relief
During 2008 we sent funding to alleviate starvation in the eastern part of South Sudan. Our local agents purchased food in Ethiopia and shipped it to an area where crops had failed due to flooding. Distribution was made by local churches that had asked for our help.
Clean Water
Southern Sudan Humanitarian (SSH) is implementing a program in South Sudan that empowers families to raise their family income, have a clean water supply, and improve their nutrition. Improving these factors saves many young children from dying before they reach 5 years of age. We refer to this as a family agri-business. SSH is the mentor organization that provides training and microcredit to water-technician entrepreneurs and family agri-businesses.
Medical Supplies
We send funds to purchase antimalarial and antibacterial drugs for the Akobo, South Sudan, hospital. The hospital pharmacist makes the purchases in nearby Ethiopia to supplement short supplies in South Sudan.
