ORGANIZATIONS
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees - UNHCR’s teams are inside South Sudan and in neighbouring countries hosting refugees from South Sudan to deliver emergency supplies and shelter, as well as support education and health. With women and children comprising 80 per cent of all South Sudanese refugees, protection support and prevention of gender-based violence is essential.
Water for South Sudan - Deliver sustainable quality-of-life services to and with the people of South Sudan by efficiently providing access to clean, safe water, and improving hygiene and sanitation practices in areas of great need.
Save the Children, South Sudan - Despite great challenges, some conflict-affected countries have managed to improve children’s survival. In South Sudan – where conflict has created a massive humanitarian crisis – deaths among young children are down 47%. Last year, you helped us change the lives of over 790,000 children in South Sudan.
Sudan Relief Fund - Sudan Relief Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing food, safe drinking water, clothing, shelter, medical attention and hope to the people of South Sudan. Since 1998, Sudan Relief Fund has made significant progress developing and strengthening the South Sudanese community, but our efforts are far from over. Our mission is to provide peace and hope for the future by alleviating immediate humanitarian concerns and aiding in the development of infrastructure necessary for growth and stability in the world’s youngest nation.
