South Sudan
A Refugee Camp of 7,000+ people near Malakal, on the Sudanese border.
The first 4 trips focused on providing emergency aid supplies such as beans, flour, sorghum, powdered milk, oil, salt, and clean water to help with the significant shortage in food and supplies necessary to sustain life and to help them get through the dry season. We also took some fun supplies along for the children to enjoy. The 5th and final trip will include bibles, tarps, garden tools and seeds for the camp.
There is still a significant financial need for the South Sudan project. Our partner organization committed funds for half of each of the first 3 trips, and with the help of our regular donors we have the 1st trip and a good part of the 2nd trip fully funded. But since the supplies for the 5th trip have been purchased and are en route up the Nile River, we are asking for $35,000 to cover the cost of this trip and any funds over this amount will go towards meeting the unmet needs from the previous trips.
