Educate Children and Fight Poverty in South Sudan

We thank you for helping this cause for several years.
We are pleased to report that two volunteers from GlobalGiving UK toured HO office in Kampala. The initial plan was to go to Mario primary school to perform project evaluation in Omilling. Unfortunately, the current social unrest in South Sudan denied them the opportunity. However, Alice and members of HO were happy that Naomi and Catharine passed by and offered training in HRM for two hours.

 At third quarter of this reporting:
Your cash and money from difference sources not used, and the Board had suspended a building activity momentarily, due to a spreading uncertainty concern in South Sudan.  The 12 iron sheets and a timber cutter machine which your fund bought in the second quarter had not been delivered as well. We will recommence the construction of the school as soon the instability improves in Magwi County.

In next three months, we will send you a new field update to inform you about the impact of your positive contribution and how far the project has reached.

It was the bodyguards for rebel leader and presidential guards who fought each other in earlier July sparking days of violence which killed many hundreds of soldiers and civilians. The two forces had battled each other, almost five years to the day South Sudan declared independence from Sudan. Following the orders from the leadership on both sides, the clashes ceased temporarily in late July. The rebels then moved their based outside Juba in an attempt to save peace which both parties signed.

In August fighting was in the outskirt of Juba in which the oppositions accused the government of attacking their positions. The rebels regrouped and fled to Congo with Riek Machar, their leader. Over the months after the second fighting in Juba, the citizens have expressed dissent against the government, as a result of this, the rebellion is growing rapidly in Equatoria states, a region that had kept itself neutral in civil conflicts which much fighting in Upper Nile and Bahr el Gazel States. 61 tribes are targeting ethnic Dinka. The humanitarian needs are going to be very great after this, Director General for RRC, told reporters. They are going to need food, shelter, water, he said, adding that the need for shelter and clean water was pressing for those living in a Displaced facility within Juba town.

War-torn South Sudan is suffering a rise in hate speech and incitement to violence against certain ethnic groups which could result in mass atrocities if the government does not act, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights said Tuesday.

Animosity between South Sudan’s Dinka ethnic group and the people of its southwestern Equatoria region surged earlier this month when buses on roads south of the capital Juba were attacked as they passed through Equatoria region.
