Who We Help

World Children’s Fund is providing food relief as hunger stalks millions of children and families in South Sudan. World Children’s Fund is delivering food aid and relief to the orphaned and abandoned children who roam the streets of Juba scrounging for food, as well as to internally displaced families living in settlements and camps scattered throughout the country, and to orphan centers and other vulnerable populations struggling in the aftermath of the civil war. The people of South Sudan have survived one of the world’s most horrific conflicts. The civil war plunged South Sudan into a violent conflict resulting in an estimated 400,000 deaths and up to 4.5 million displaced people.

"South Sudan is one of the neediest countries on our planet. I can’t think of too many countries that need more assistance than South Sudan does right now. We have so much potential to make a difference in the lives of the suffering here."

— Johan Claassen, WCF liaison working in Juba to implement food relief programs
