Thirteen-year-old Orphan says his Life has changed from GO! Support

Since 2016, we have been working with South Sudanese partner Christ Mission to the World to feed orphan children in the Aweil area of South Sudan. Access issues from these village schools, combined with higher prices and diminished food supply, a perfect storm is on the horizon whereas the over 1,300 orphan children we feed in South Sudan are in jeopardy of receiving food beyond their time at school. There are more children in need that we can aid if we can gather more people to this effort.

Needs are growing around the world, while we are dealing with record level inflation as we serve those who are most desperate. We are not apt to turn away children that we are currently providing aid to, so we are asking that you might consider providing some support.
