Helping the Southern Sudanese Refugees

By Margaret Reynolds | Vice President

St. Bakhita Primary School

In 2011, I was in Uganda when South Sudan became the world’s youngest nation. The Sudanese who had fled to Uganda as refugees celebrated in the streets and excitedly explained their plans to return home. I don’t think that anyone anticipated how much pain this young nation would have already experienced less than 5 years later. Returning to Uganda in 2014, I had the privilege of living among the Ugandans of Katulikire and the refugees they hosted from several surrounding countries including South Sudan. Tens of thousands of Southern Sudanese had fled to Uganda in the past year. Thousands have resettled in the Kiryandongo refugee camp just down the road from NETwork’s home base in Katulikire. Meeting these refugees, the women and children told stories of profound violence and great suffering: rape, starvation, murder, mutilation. In Uganda, they are safe from the battling armies, but they experience all the problems surrounding those who are relegated to great poverty. These people who have escaped unimaginable suffering arrive particularly vulnerable to sickness, especially malaria. The Southern Sudanese refugees arrive in Uganda with hope. Their children have enrolled in local public schools in numbers which have surpassed their capacity. We are working to protect every single one of these children who have already overcome so much against malaria. Now that they are safe and are attempting to achieve an education, we want to help them by protecting them against malaria. With your support, we have already covered 2 schools, but we are currently working to protect an additional 2,000+ students against malaria.
