Give Fruit and a Greener Environment (South Sudan)

We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year 2013!

Thanks for your recent generous gift to Give Fruit and a Greener Environment South Sudan project. Your committed to help the needy to get out of poverty is really appreciated by our trustees and those will benefit most – the children!

Fruit planting is good for the environment, and provide a healthier food diets to the villagers. In time of scarcity they stand as food security. It is also the potential source of income because the timbers and fruit varieties will be sold to promote the economy and development locally. This is a great project for current and future generation.

The following fruit seedlings have been supplied to the tree nurseries to mark the year end of 2012:20 Indian mango seedlings, 10 jack fruit seedlings, and 5 yellow banana seedlings.

The beneficiaries are eager to see this project progressing. They need your help to plant more fruit and tree varieties;

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!
