South Sudan Children's Foundation History:-
The South Sudan Children’s Foundation was established to provide educational infrastructure for poor South Sudanese children in communities where families and finances have been destroyed by that country’s civil war.
The initial project is building a permanent school house at Mayom Primary School in Paliau town, Twic East County of Jonglei state, South Sudan. The children there attend classes in only one grassed roof building with the mud wall. Some of the children attended classes under the big tree with shade because the one roof building is not enough for the entire village children.
Paliau is the home town of Deng Juac and Dhieu Juac, who are among the Lost Boys who emigrated to the United States after trekking through wilderness and danger in South Sudan over 15 years ago in order to reach a Kenyan refugee camp before being sponsored to the United States by a Christian Church group. Deng and Dhieu are cousins and co-founders of the South Sudan Children’s Foundation.
The Foundation’s second project is the College Education Initiative to fund the education of high-achieving South Sudanese high school graduates. Most of these children have no way of affording college. Dhieu and Guot, his elder brother, have already sponsored two step-brothers, two immediate cousins and one nephew so they could successfully complete their high school education.
The South Sudan Children’s Foundation is an IRS-approved 501 (c)(3) organization, EIN 45-4594207, and donations are tax deductible.
