We are happy you had been financing this cause.
At this first reporting in 2017:
This project has proven beneficial for refugees who fled South Sudanese current civil conflict. Your money and funds from other patrons gave loans to four women to start a venture in a production and selling of clay cookstoves, a popular cooking device in Africa. We have reduced the activity of this cause in South Sudan.
They will use the profit to repay their loan installments, provide their families with basic needs, and pay school fees to educate their children.
In the second quarter, we will post you a new field update report to tell you the progress of the impact your contribution is making in the life of people in the ground.
Growing instability triggers new displacement
Fighting between armed groups has driven thousands of people from their villages in Eastern, Central, and Western Equatoria states since the start of January. Several thousand had taken refuge in Uganda.
The Relief Agencies are increasingly concerned at recent growing uncertainty around South Sudan and its serious impact on the civilian population.
UNHCR alerted that localized fighting between rebel armed groups and government soldiers and an apparent breakdown in law and order are being reported in and near Yambio, some 300 kilometers west of Juba.
Sporadic gunfire is commonplace, and there has also been an increase in crime involving car-jackings, attacks on government property, looting of civilian homes and sexual assaults,"
