South Sudan
South Sudan is located in Central Africa and is a country that has suffered severely over the years due to ethnic violence and civil war. The country’s economy is largely dependent on oil and agriculture and so seasons of drought are detrimental to the people’s well-being. South Sudan is also known to be one of the most illiterate, poor, and undeveloped countries in the entire world, with little access to proper medical care. It is in this environment where Word & Deed partners seek to minister to the Sudanese people.
Street Children Ministries
Street Children Ministry (SCM) provides a home for approximately 30 children, a Christian education for about 65 children, and many other supports, including wound care, for children who live on the streets of South Sudan. Every child who benefits from their services also hears the clear message of the Gospel. SCM’s goal is that these children would come to love the Lord and be reunited with their families. Their school has an excellent reputation in the community. Street Children Ministries provides all of their students with substance addiction counseling, food and medication, a healthy and loving environment for them to live in, and vocational training.
Sudanese Reformed Church Feeding Program
The Sudanese Reformed Church (SRC) is a denomination that has 4 churches in Sudan and 16 in South Sudan. They operate several Christian schools in South Sudan that Word & Deed helped to build. Word & Deed helps to support a feeding program at these schools that provides food for 1,070 students three days per week. The students receive a plate of rice or maize with beans or lentils. Primary students also receive a cup of milk.
