Bringing hope in South Sudan

Local resilience in the world's newest nation

Civilians have endured years of violence and failed peace agreements. Rebel groups continue to multiply along ethnic-tribal lines in localised militia. Conflict has claimed thousands of lives and driven millions to flee their homes.

The people of South Sudan face a full-blown humanitarian emergency, made worse by devastating floods and droughts, inequitable distribution of resources, economic mismanagement and serious human rights violations.

Your little [support] went a long way because it came in time. Other organisations gave more but it came too late.

HART was privileged to be in Juba on 9 July 2011 to witness South Sudan become the world’s newest nation. It was an historic day for the whole of Africa. Independence did not bring conflict to an end. Amid the country’s complex conflict dynamics, we celebrate the positive impact of local peacebuilders.
