AWEIL, SOUTH SUDAN

A 14 year old boy at Lueth-wek Primary School says his life has improved following the GO! nutrition project launch at his school in 2020.

Victor Akok Manot Akok of Lueth-wek expresses his gratitude for the support rendered by Global Orphan Relief to his school and classmates.

Akok who is 14 years old says he benefits from school feeding which sustained him to continue with his studies. He says feeding (sustainability), spiritual guidance and academic empowerment have impacted his life from being irregular school attendant to regular one now. He says he will carry on and be able to read and write so that he helps SOUTH SUDAN as he got helped by a strangers that provide food and who are building the Kitchen and storeroom. 

Akok on other hand, raised alarm on the impact of coronavirus in their studies. He appealed for help from Ministry of Health to bring face masks so that they resume their classes, as they are now receiving their daily meal is all.

Currently at Lueth-wek, 904 pupils are benefiting from this Nutrition Project with funding from American people and other parts of the globe by making sure that at least over 3,000 pupils get their meals daily.

In South Sudan, education is facing enormous challenges with the lack of qualified teachers, and little funding to effectively operate local schools. Most schools lack basic requirements like school buildings, toilets, food, and clean drinking water. Even with sub-standard education available to some, attendance is not guaranteed for these children.

Plans for 2021 is to provide nutrition to more vulnerable children in the Aweil area, increasing the number of children served by 54% over 2020. In addition, we will begin to further develop these school sites with infrastructure in cooperation with multiple partners.

Today we currently feed 2,613 vulnerable children in South Sudan, and with our partner Christ Mission to the World, we will serve an estimated 52,260 meals at three village schools in the Aweil area this month.

You may send support or other correspondence to Global Orphan Relief, 16352 Prairie Farm Cir, Parker, CO 80134 or you may give also give electronically to support the feeding of vulnerable children at 2021 South Sudan Nutrition.
