The violence in South Sudan in recent months has left more than a thousand people dead – and almost half a million people are estimated to have fled their homes to escape the conflict. There are a significant number of refugee families in the area around Wau, where we have our Children’s Home, and many have only very limited access to shelter, food, water and other basic supplies. Disease and sickness, including an outbreak of measles, are threatening the lives of many children. Your donation will help meet a refugee family’s urgent, basic needs: food, soap, sandals, medicines, clothing and plastic sheets.
