They've Already Fled Everything. Now They Need You.
South Sudanese refugees are the poorest people fleeing from the poorest country in the world. They've lost everything—homes, livelihoods, loved ones—and now survive in settlements with almost no resources. International aid has dried up. Without your help this December, our lifeline to these families disappears in 2026.
Your gift today funds our 2026 operations in Africa.
Grants fund projects. Your gifts keep us alive to DO those projects.
Our 2025 Medical Mission
In July, our team partnered with Global Medical Foundation Australia at Bidi Bidi refugee settlement in northwestern Uganda—the second largest refugee camp in the world.
The Impact:
Nearly 200 surgeries performed, including 103 cataract operations restoring sight
- 1,800 refugees treated across five zones
- $80,000 in surgical equipment donated, eliminating the hospital's 30-hour round trip for supplies
To date we have participated in four medical camps in Africa.
200 Surgeries at Yumbe Regional Referral Hospital
Medical Aid at Bidi Bidi Refugee SettlementSeeds for Refugees
In early 2025, we delivered 480 kilos of corn seeds and farming tools to refugees, enabling them to plant 100 hectares of corn. Instead of temporary relief, we're empowering families to cultivate their own futures by building self-sufficiency.

Food Security Program (Ongoing)
We began quarterly food distributions in July, serving 100 families initially and expanding to 140 by September. With your help, we'll move to distributions every two months in 2026.
Why December 2025 Determines Our 2026 Impact
Recent U.S. aid stoppages mean refugees in Bidi Bidi now face increased hunger. Some families are being forced to consider returning to war zones.
What you give this December determines if we can open our doors in January.
Without operating funds secured NOW, our services stop for people with nowhere else to turn. South Sudan can't wait.
