"Women First" will support 500 drought-affected women in Kapoeta East, Eastern Equatoria State, South Sudan, with emergency food items and dignity kits. The project will prioritize vulnerable women, including female-headed households, helping them meet immediate food and essential needs while protecting their dignity and well-being. Community engagement and radio messaging will promote awareness, transparency, and access to assistance.
Drought is severely affecting communities in Kapoeta East, Eastern Equatoria State, South Sudan, reducing access to food, water and basic household necessities. Women and girls are particularly vulnerable as household resources decline, increasing food insecurity, economic hardship and challenges in maintaining personal dignity and hygiene. Many vulnerable women cannot afford essential food and dignity items, creating an urgent need for targeted emergency assistance.
The project will support 500 drought-affected women in Kapoeta East with emergency food items and dignity kits to address immediate food and essential needs. Women will be identified through community-based targeting, while awareness and radio messaging will improve access to information and services. Safe distribution, feedback mechanisms, and monitoring will help ensure assistance reaches those most in need.
The project will help vulnerable women and households cope with drought and strengthen their resilience to future shocks. Improved access to food and dignity items will support health, well-being and household stability. Community engagement and radio awareness will strengthen knowledge of available services, protection and preparedness, while lessons from the response can inform future drought and resilience programs in Kapoeta East.
