Report: Smile Charity South Sudan

Date 19/1/2026

Introduction

Smile Charity in South Sudan is dedicated to enhancing access and quality education for all learners while supporting disadvantaged children and raising awareness in the communities. The charity undertook various education-related programs that positively impacted learners and communities within the reporting period.

Support to Kon-beek Primary School

Smile Charity South Sudan was supporting Kon-beek Primary School through the facilitation of 20 teachers, of which 5 are female and 15 are male. By supporting this aspect, it helped to boost teaching and ultimately led to enhanced performance. Boosting teaching staff is among the most effective ways of enhancing learning standards.

Support to a Vulnerable Child

The organization has provided all-round support for one of the most at-risk students whose mother is currently living with a psychological condition. With such perpetual support, the child is able to move from a nursery school to a primary school education class. Such a project also showcases Smile Charity South Sudan’s commitment and focus for child protection and equality within education.

Education Awareness and Inclusion Campaigns

The Smile Charity South Sudan conducted education awareness campaigns reaching a total of 200 children, consisting of 150 boys and 50 girls, in addition to 50 adults, comprising 30 males and 20 females. The education campaigns were based on the significance of quality education and learning to all children without consideration of gender and vulnerability.

Conclusion and Appeal for Support

The above accomplishments discussed in this report show the positive impact created by Smile Charity South Sudan’s educational projects. For this to continue, Smile Charity South Sudan humbly requests funding and support. Through funding and donations, vulnerable children will continue to be protected, and awareness campaigns will reach children in South Sudan to ensure that they go to safe and quality learning environments.
