Wau!! Wow!

Doreen

According to UNICEF, 40% of South Sudanese lack food and an estimated 360,000 children under five years old are actively starving.

Closer to home, the SDA Church in Wau, South Sudan, where we conducted FARM STEW training in October 2020, has 40 children that are clinically malnourished. But thanks to your generous “YES” and the work of the FARM STEW trainers, we know that can change!

How do we know? Because we are launching training that your generous support is making possible. 52 church leaders from the entire region will be descending upon Wau in mid-February to be equipped with the recipe for abundant life.

The trainees in October 2020 decided to skip several meals and collectively pooled the saved the money to buy bicycles for two volunteers that are becoming FARM STEW Trainers and also a sign, pointing the way to the future FARM STEW Office in South Sudan!

The faith and optimism of Pastor Paul, who was trained by FARM STEW when Joy was in South Sudan in October 2019, has been a driving force behind getting FARM STEW to Wau.

"I am 14 years old, and I started my period this year. My first day I felt shy and I missed school... It is not easy to find pads in my village and the few here are very expensive to buy. These new pads are going to protect me when I am having my period. Since they are reusable, I am not going to worry anymore when my periods come!"
Pads

Freedom from Shame

Everyday thousands of African girls drop out of school. WHY? Their monthly cycle, period.  You can help these girls stay in school with washable cloth pads, panties and confidence for 15$ per girl.
Our goal is 5000 girls in 2020!
