——————————————————-
In the first four months of 2021 we have experienced a dramatic increase in the number of children coming to our partner schools to receive meals. In the first five months of this year we have provided an estimated 261,300 meals impacting 2,613 children. The scale of this initiative has grown by more than 200% when compared to 2020 when we served just an estimated 85,160 meals to 852 vulnerable children.
Education in South Sudan is facing enormous challenges with the lack of qualified teachers, and little funding to effectively operate local schools. Most schools lack basic requirements like classrooms, toilets, food, and clean drinking water.

Plans for 2021 is to provide nutrition to more vulnerable children in the Aweil area as they are experiencing near-famine conditions. In cooperation with multiple partners (Kids for the Kingdom & Christ Mission to the World), we have developed these school sites with infrastructure over the last 6-months by investing $126,200 during this time for kitchens, storerooms, latrines, water, and classrooms.
Today we serve these precious children with our partner Christ Mission to the World who are the hands and feet on the ground, and through this partnership we will serve more than 52,920 meals at three village schools in the Aweil area this month as we expect to exceed 3,200 children that we will be feeding in the coming months.
