Last Saturday, 9th July 2011, Sudan, became two nations. One of Africa’s biggest countries now split into two, South Sudan desperately needs help in it’s quest to make a fresh start. With internal instability and serious poverty, the return of thousands of south Sudanese from the North is causing a great deal of stress on the new economy.
South Sudan is now one of the world’s poorest countries, and its people are badly in need of the basics that we take for granted –
- Education
- Healthcare
- Clean Water
- Food
With less than half of South Sudan’s children attending school, the future looks bleak for the new countries long term stability and survival. Plus with a possible food crisis looming, the people of South Sudan are badly in need of our support.
World Vision UK’s Director of Policy and Programmes, David Thomson, said –
From more than 20 years of working with and talking with children in this country, we know that their hopes and fears reflect the needs of the nation.
