The Crisis Continues ...

By Jonathan Steck | Senior Editor

Help a family survive this devastating crisis.
Help a family survive this devastating crisis.


We are so grateful for what you're doing in South Sudan.

Your gift has given displaced families hope when they needed it most by providing them with emergency food, water, and shelter kits. As you can imagine, this is life-saving for a family that has nothing.

Most families eft all their belongings behind when they fled the tribal violence but thanks to you they now have tarpaulin's and other equipment to provide safety and privacy. 

As you may know, the violence in South Sudan has now been compounded by a shocking famine. The last famine in East Africa claimed close to 250,000 lives and all estimates show that this crisis could be far worse. 

The crisis in South Sudan is even more devastating than an emergency like an earthquake or hurricane. Families gradually lose their crops, their animals, food, water, livelihoods, and then their health. It is torturous, and while it has not been given the same media attention as larger, more immediate disasters, the crisis in South Sudan is putting hundreds of thousands of people at risk.  

This is far from over, and more families need your help. Even if you can help just one more today, we want you to know that it will make a massive difference. 

In the critical months ahead, your gift provides families with clean water, shelter, and rehabilitation in the form of trauma counseling, and opportunities for their kids to go to school. Your gift also provides hygiene training for thousands of families which will help to stop the spread of disease and keep them healthy. 

Please send a gift now, knowing that your generosity will provide shelter and emergency support to a displaced family in South Sudan.
