South Sudan, officially known as the Republic of South Sudan, gained its independence from Sudan in 2011. 12 million people reside here and the capital and largest city of Juba has a population of nearly half a million. The nation is covered mostly in tropical forest, swamps, and grassland and hosts the second-largest wildlife migration in the world.
Kids Alive has been operating the Good Shepherd Home in Wau since 2007, where boys who had previously lived on the streets or came from abusive homes can live in safety. Here they can have their physical, emotional, education, and social needs met in a loving atmosphere that is permeated with the Gospel and hope for a better future. The ministry also provides teachers for boys in a local juvenile prison and infant formula for babies in the nearby UN camp, and we help with school fees for 162 community children.
