South Sudan

Country Context

As the world's youngest nation, South Sudan continues to face complex humanitarian challenges including widespread displacement, food insecurity, and limited access to basic services following years of conflict.

Our Impact

SZM's emergency water purification systems serve 200,000 conflict-affected people, reducing waterborne diseases by 45%. Our rapid deployment teams utilize solar-powered equipment to establish emergency services within 72 hours of reaching affected areas, ensuring timely response to critical needs.

We have distributed 15,000 solar lanterns to displaced families, improving safety in camps and settlements while enabling income-generating activities after dark. This intervention has reduced gender-based violence incidents by 30% in target communities and allowed small businesses to extend operating hours significantly.

Temporary learning spaces provide educational continuity for 12,000 children in displacement camps. These solar-powered facilities offer psychological support and educational programming despite ongoing challenges. The centers also function as community hubs for information dissemination and coordination of humanitarian services.
