Violence, political instability, and economic stagnation have left two-thirds of South Sudan’s population in dire need of humanitarian assistance. According to experts, more than 80% of the country’s population lives in poverty, surviving on less than $1.90 per day. To add, climate-induced disasters such as severe droughts and floods continually ravage the country, leaving devastation in their wake. 

Thanks to you, we’ve been able to accomplish so much. But there’s still so much more to do. By continuing to support our efforts in South Sudan, you can help make a difference in the lives of those in desperate need.

Islamic Relief has been in South Sudan since 2003. Since then, our focus has been on long-term development assistance to help pull vulnerable communities out of the cycle of poverty. 

A few of our interventions include:

• Food aid
• Sustainable livelihood support through improving livestock production and access to animal healthcare services for vulnerable pastoralist communities 
• Humanitarian aid for internally displaced people, returnees, and other vulnerable populations
• Emergency aid for flood-affected families including access to clean water

When you make the decision to help fundraise for the effort, you go beyond just thoughts and prayers. This increased IMPACT is priceless, because it means we’re able to meet more needs of those who are waiting for us to lend a helping hand.
