Nola*, an orphan in South Sudan, lost her parents in the country’s civil war. She was left behind when all her relatives fled to a refugee camp in a neighboring country. Getting food was her biggest problem. Aliyah, a widow, took Nola in to help. But she was not able to provide for their daily needs. When our local team members met them, Nola and Aliyah had been without food for two days. Our local staff members were able to provide them with meals — and they burst into tears of joy. They could not hold back their emotion and were so grateful that people like you would help them. After the meal distribution one local pastor shared, “This relief aid is one of the best appreciated services. People [the beneficiaries] didn’t believe what had happened. It was like a miracle …. We received endless thanks from all who benefitted.” The cost of food and other basic items in South Sudan has skyrocketed. There is still ongoing conflict in the area, and COVID-19 cases are on the rise. With no power supply, children struggle to keep up with school studies. You can help ensure suffering people like Nola and Aliyah have the food they need to survive. With over 60 percent of the population in South Sudan facing food insecurity, the needs have never been greater. Every 13 cents you give now provides a meal for a hungry person — and reveals the eternal hope of Jesus. *Names changed for security purposes.
