My story

Shede had been working at a restaurant and tending her organic farm, which sustained her family before the current vicious war broke out in Sudan. Shede had to flee with her children to South Sudan when her brothers were killed. Having left everything behind, including Shede's husband who she cannot contact, they arrived in Wedweil Refugee Settlement with just the clothes they fled in.

With your help, we can support families like Shede's to buy food and lifesaving supplies.

This Christmas, as we celebrate, please give what you can to help families like Shede's find comfort during conflict.

How your money helps

This Christmas, you can support families in South Sudan; a country ravaged by conflict and the climate crisis.

Extreme poverty is deepening, as food shortages, high prices, lack of clean water, and poor sanitation make daily life an enormous challenge for most. As more families arrive to seek refuge each day, exponential pressure is being put on communities and humanitarian organisations who are already at breaking point.

Every pound you raise could provide:

  • Nutritious meals to help families combat hunger and malnutrition.
  • Blankets and warm clothing to bring comfort to children far from home.
  • Financial assistance that enables families to buy essential items and rebuild their lives.

Your donations, this Christmas, will bring hope to those who need it most.
