Stories of struggling families in South Sudan
Families in Jonglei tell their stories of struggle as Plan and World Food Program steps up relief in South Sudan. Plan is currently distributing food targeting 15,000 IDPs over the next 3 months.
Plan South Sudan
Plan has been working in South Sudan, including before its independence, since 2006 - helping poor children to access their rights to education, health, protection and economic security.
We work with more than 20,000 children - mainly in Juba, Lainya and Yei counties in Central Equatoria - to bring lasting improvements in a country that has emerged from decades of civil war.
Plan South Sudan promotes child rights to ensure that children, families and communities actively participate in their own development - from identifying problems to implementing solutions.
