We are going to school because of you!

We applaud you to pay school fees for our kids in exile.

South Sudan needs future professional generations to defeat Tribalism to promote peace, coexistence, and embark on a sustainable development. No education! - No peace!

At this first reporting in 2017:
Your money and funding from Trolltech Foundation we will continue to pay fees for 20 children already in our program from 2016. Two new girls have been included in the program.

Due to current civil conflict, countless children fled from South Sudan war to live in an outskirt of Kampala as refugees. Most are not in school because it cost money to access primary education in Uganda. They had applied for support. But limited funding HopeOfiriha unable to help all of them.

In a second quarter, HO posts a new field update report to inform you about the influence of your contribution how it is positively transforming a life of poor refugee children.

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,"
