Only one thing can defeat poverty in South Sudan; Education!
Thanks for your recent generous gift to Educate Children and Fight Poverty in South Sudan project. Your commitment to help the needy get out of poverty is really appreciated by our board of trustees and those who will benefit most – the children!
Education is a key in a battle against poverty in Omilling, and now, these villagers know the importance of sending their children to school. A woman said this project is worth their local support; they will make quarry stones, collect lake sand, and donate their labour free of charge, so the school is build. The target is to make 70,000 pieces of interlocking soil blocks, and 32000 have been produced. Two hundred and thirteen thousands bags of cement (50kg -each) have been used to make these blocks. Each bag of (50kg) cement produces 150 pieces of blocks, and the cement was purchased from a factory in Uganda. The villagers are committed to making the remaining balance of 38000. This is really good and positive!
Children are eager to see this project progressing. They need your help to build Mario Primary School for current and future generations.
Since this project is still under implementation, we will be sending you the quarterly report. You will get to know what your donation has helped impact, what we have achieved.

This is a high valued cause which is worth supporting, and the project has been rolling since from the beginning of 2012. The villagers are currently producing interlocking soil blocks. Their goal is to produce 70,000 pieces of interlocking soil blocks to complete the school building project. Hope Ofiriha has purchased 100 bags cement (50kg) which the villagers are using for production.
The beneficiaries are eager to see this project progressing. They need your help to build Mairo Primary School for current and future children generation.
While our communities had just started to adjust from the shocks and devastation of prolonged civil war, they were yet met by airstrikes and ground assaults launched against South Sudan in the bordering states by Sudan armed forces and militant allies. This brought more unnecessary displacement, vulnerability, anguish and human suffering.
Life in the South Sudan – Sudan bordering states became unbearable as cost of living steadily skyrocketed. While two nations have signed a deal to promote peaceful coexistence, the impact of recent conflict include Abyei has caused humanitarian needs to the affected people.
We therefore, request our partners to continue their support to Hope Ofiriha and more importantly to the needy and vulnerable groups in the communities. We look forward to working with all of you in 2013.
May I take this opportunity to wish our donors and partners a Merry Christmas and very happy, peaceful and prosperous New Year 2013!

Current donations are totaling $ 8000, and fundraising is still far from reaching the goal. This is worthwhile cause, and the beneficiaries are eager to see this project progressing.
The project activities are placed on hold because there are no funds available by time of submitting the proposal, and no money was forthcoming in the first year when it was posted to donors. The project also faced difficult time to attract donors between 2009/2010 due to current recession.
In a third quarter of 2011, and second/third quarters of 2012 the project attracted donations from GlobalGiving community, which came in small amount monthly slightly higher than in 2010/2011. We believe this project can be implemented in 4 to 6 years if the trend continues.
The trustees and Omilling Traditional Authority decided the project should first make 75,000 interlocking soil blocks, while fundraising is on-going with major donors.
The project purchased 200 bags cement, and 50 pieces of iron sheets for roofing. It has also made 1500 soil blocks, and this activity will continue when cement are available. Soil blocks are ideal to produce during rainy season as they need much water for curing. The major building activities will take place at a later date when enough funds are raised, and building materials secured.
Until this project is fully funded we will be sending you quarterly field reports. You will get to know what your donation has helped impact and what we have achieved.

Your commitment to help the needy to get liberated from extreme poverty is really appreciated by our trustees, and those who benefit most- the Children!
Your donation will buy 25 bags of cements, and 10 iron sheets for roofing. Currently, HOPE Ofiriha only buys cement to produce interlocking soil blocks.
A project targets to make 60 000 pieces interlocking blocks. A bag of cement mixes with 8 wheelbarrow of sub-soil produces 105 pieces.
We need 572 bags of cement for the entire construction; the activities are on hold while fundraising is running. The production of blocks is not started because we need 250 bags of cement to begin. The children are really eager to see this progress progressing.
While this project is under implementation, we will be sending you our quarterly reports about our worker. You will get to know what your donation has helped impact, and what we have achieved.
Once again, thank you for all you do for Hope Ofiriha.
