About us
Christian Aid has a vision of a better world free from poverty. At the heart of this vision is tackling the root causes of poverty, empowering people to have a brighter future, and saving lives during emergencies.
In South Sudan, Christian Aid exists to bring lasting change for all the people of South Sudan, so they live in peaceful coexistence, with dignity and security, taking a full part in the society and the economy; irrespective of their identity.
Christian Aid is responding to the South Sudan humanitarian crisis in a way that will lay the foundations for a broad-based recovery, working with local and national actors to provide emergency and resilient livelihoods support to disaster-affected populations.
