Lives Are Changing Through Education/Nutrition in South Sudan

As Global Orphans Relief (GO!) in collaboration with Christ Mission to the World (CMW) continues supporting children with less or no parental care in South Sudan over six years now, beneficiaries have greatly improved in pursuing their education.
Beliek has produced eighth grades this year. Pupils in this grade feel their mission is accomplished because of being their long-term dream. They say, without GO!’s Support they wouldn’t have reached this far in their lives.
Joseph Agany, aged 17, is an eighth-grade pupil who has benefited from GO!’s sponsored programme of school meals. He says he is grateful to have reached his academic dreams (of completing grade eight) of his primary education.
Agany is an orphan and has so far changed his life through GO!’s support in South Sudan.
I am happy to be part of primary eight at Beliek Village School which I have been dreaming of how I can reach this far in life without parents,” as he explains how privileged he is.
There are currently over five hundred pupils at Beliek Village School, of which, 36 pupils are in grade eight.
Global Orphan Relief (GO!) in collaboration with Christ Mission to the World (CMW) establishes feeding centres at village schools to provide meals to orphan children and have inspired an education campaign promoting vulnerable children to attend school.

We have served in South Sudan since 2016 and have provided an estimated 1.7 million meals impacting more than 3,200 children in South Sudan. The scale of this initiative has grown by over 7 times since our launch in 2016, and this growth is driven by the near-famine conditions and other socio-economic challenges in this country.
In cooperation with two partners, Kids for the Kingdom & Christ Mission to the World, there has been $130,000 invested in these three school sites since October 2020. This investment provides for clean water, kitchens, storerooms, and latrines, all which allows for cost-effective distribution of food aid in these communities.
