Story
Imagine a situation where:
7 out of 10 children are not in school, thats the highest proportion in the world. The majority of those are girls, which is why less than 1 in 10 women can read
Nearly two thirds of teachers have no formal training whatsoever
Due to the conflict and fighting over the last 10 years nearly 1 in 3 schools has been destroyed, damaged or closed
Only a third of schools have access to water, and only a half of schools have toilets
Welcome to South Sudan.
Because education is key to the development of any country, we at Roots Sudan aim to help in any way we can, no matter how small.
We are currently partnering with Immanuel Kindergarten to help them survive as a school and to expand what they can offer the local children in Yei, South Sudan.
Our current campaign is to help build a new block of classrooms to house the growing number of children that are attending the school. We are also continuing to develop other initiatives to enable the school to become more self sufficient and create sustainable schooling.
Can you help...?
