A Word

From Mama Hellen

“Constant civil war and government conflict since 1955 has created a humanitarian crisis in South Sudan. As of 2018, more than 4 MILLION people lacked consistent access to food….more than 4 MILLION people had been forced to flee their homes….schools, hospitals, and clinics had been looted or destroyed by warring parties…more than 70% of the population is currently illiterate due to lack of access to education…only 30% of youth are enrolled in primary schools. But despite these difficulties, we at the Mama Hellen school strive to achieve the impossible! With your help, we shall improve a child’s life one by one. Read my story to learn more.”
