Dear friend,
It has been over two years since our families were forced to flee their homes in Maar, South Sudan. They had to relocate to the Mangalla displacement camp over 130 miles away. The situation all over South Sudan is dire. Many organizations like the World Food Program have left the camp because of lack of funding. The famine is the worst the country has experienced since becoming a country. Our staff is seeing increases in malnourished children.
At the end of December GlobalGiving contacted us that it was giving us a $10,000 grant to help assist with the challenge. This was such a blessing and will help our staff provide the need nutritional support that our mothers and children need. When children are malnourished, diseases are more likely to cause deaths. We are gratedul to GlobalGiving and our donors for helping us save many lives.
With this new year, our staff is working hard to provide hope to our families who have had to deal with so many challenges. They are grateful for the many that support their efforts. It is such an enouragement to them to know that others wish to support their work.
Kind regards,
Jacob
