To support and improve the lives of orphan and vulnerable children in South Sudan

In South Sudan, poverty is deeply rooted in society with more than 90% of the population living on less than $1 per day.  Those most deeply affected are living off subsistence farming in the regions which continue to be affected by drought and war like the Toposa people and other communities in the Equatorial Region.

​

The inability to adapt to climatic variations, as well as the demands placed on natural resources, are the fundamental causes of poverty, which in turn have fueled the conflict from the beginning and have since intensified.  Children directly suffer the consequences linked to poverty, which deprives them from access to education, clean water and healthcare, etc.

Education Program

It’s been reported that about 80% of a child’s brain is developed by the time they turn 3 years. One’s brain has the capacity to grow and learn the most when they are young. Children from low-income families in South Sudan are missing formative years in education because of their poverty. Compared to their affluent peers, most vulnerable children are more than 2 or 3 years behind. In fact, all children living in rural communities in South Sudan don’t have access to education or own a single book. That’s why Triple L designed the literacy program to give vulnerable children and struggling families in access to learning. These programs will specifically help the

Toposa people in the Eastern Equatorial Region of South Sudan.

The Toposa people have proudly maintained their traditional cultural lifestyle in the process of preserving their culture; however, they have embraced a system where cultural pressures against children, especially girls’ education are nothing short of overwhelming.  Triple L focuses on the Toposa community in South Sudan where the vast majority of children do not have access to education and are begging on the streets on doing odd jobs to survive.

​

Triple L provides critical education supplies to improve the literacy, health, and economic wellbeing of these children through education.  It also provides scholarships for girls who would otherwise never go to school or would have to drop out of school for cultural or economic reasons.  We are committed to helping each of our students to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in South Sudan, whether through secondary school, vocational education or college.

​

We intend to build and improve schools in Kapoeta and across Eastern Equatorial saving children ages 5-24 years. In addition, we work to provide emergency funds and support to help these children and facilitate community engagement and participation, our goal is to educate a generation of Toposa children (boys/girls), so they can have economic independence.
