Following a power crisis in 2013, South Sudan spiralled into conflict, which has spread across most parts of the country, leading to the deaths of thousands of people and widespread displacement. Today, over 7 million people – half of the population – are facing extreme hunger and high rates of acute malnutrition. Christian Aid's South Sudan country programme recognises that ultimately the only solution to the humanitarian crisis is for there to be peace. The programme seeks to ensure essential, immediate needs are met and aims to empower local communities to address the root causes of conflict and develop a just and secure environment. Having visited the country earlier this year, I know that your support will really make a difference as Christian Aid seek to bring peace, hope, reconciliation and unity to the people of South Sudan.
