In response to the growing crisis in East Africa, the New Zealand Government has partnered with World Vision to provide essential aid in South Sudan.
The partnership between World Vision and the New Zealand Government will provide food security and increased water and sanitation for nearly 20,000 internally displaced people and host community members in two UN Protection of Civilians sites in Melut, Upper Nile.
The project will provide 1,000 households with vegetable kits, 20 farmers groups with water pumps for vegetable production, and train 1,000 people in improved agricultural practises and post-harvest management. World Vision will train 60 people in nursery establishment (tree nurseries) and management including the distribution of 2,000 tree seedlings. Two new water points will be constructed and 100 shared household latrines will be built. The project will reach 14,000 people with hygiene promotion messaging, training hygiene promoters, and setting up school hygiene clubs.
This project will help the community respond to the current food crisis, and build long-term resilience through enhanced farming capabilities.
