I was in South Sudan recently to meet with a rural women’s group we had begun a partnership with. The plan was to hand over the first of a number of assets that included among other things, farming tools, sewing machines, and equipment for small-scale irrigation and drinking water. These along with appropriate training and technical support will bolster resilience and improve livelihoods in the small community. This village, in the world’s newest country, is still healing the wounds of a 20-year civil war and we at CHF have been scaling up our efforts in various districts for the last decade.
