The South Sudan refugee crisis is unique because more than 80 percent of those who have fled their homes are women and children. Most of the men have been killed by tribal warfare.
There is a high number of children living alone, taking on responsibilities that no child should have to bear.
Sylvia.
At just 12 years old, Sylvia is responsible for making sure her siblings have enough food and clean water each day.
She takes her job very seriously and does everything she can to keep her family together and safe in a camp filled with 42,000 refugees. Sylvia has experienced much trauma in her young life. Both her father and mother were victims of war and religious persecution … losing one of her siblings would be simply devastating.
But that’s a very real threat that Sylvia faces every day.
Supplies at the camp are running dangerously low. Each month, Sylvia’s family receives a ration of just seven pounds of flour — not nearly enough food to live on.
It’s the same in refugee camps across northern Uganda
Many more CHILDREN like Sylvia are waiting for a helping hand!
As Christians, we’re called to spread the light of God’s love in the
darkest places on earth. And after seeing firsthand the situation in
these refugee camps, there are few places as dark
as northern Uganda — a place that is rarely in the news and is easily
forgotten.
Please don’t forget these refugees. Please don’t forget children like Sylvia.
All it takes is $20 for you to provide one refugee with a month’s supply of essentials such as healthy food, clean water, blankets, and hygiene items.
A generous gift of $100 will provide one month of emergency aid for an entire family!
Your gift represents more than just a meal for a hungry refugee; it’s a demonstration of Christ’s love. And because local pastors will distribute the aid you provide, you are opening doors for the Gospel to spread.
Jesus commanded us to help widows and orphans … just like Sylvia. Will you give what you can today? The lives of these vulnerable children are at stake.
