Where we help
Gender injustice is unfortunately a widespread problem worldwide. To ensure a safer future and to take a first step towards equality, we are working together with our partners in South Sudan and Sierra Leone.
Why South Sudan
South Sudan has been an independent state since July 9, 2011, making it the youngest state in the world. Despite its young age, the country is marked by unrest and civil war. Over four million South Sudanese have fled to neighboring countries or within their own country. There has been official peace since 2018, but the country continues to suffer from unrest and the consequences of years of conflict. In the north of the country in particular, the unrest has destroyed the social infrastructure. Due to a flood disaster in 2021, the region is also in an acute food crisis, which is particularly affecting small farmers.
Why Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone is one of the poorest countries in the world. Weakened by civil wars and Ebola, the country suffers from destroyed or missing infrastructure. In addition to economic and structural difficulties, the population in Sierra Leone also struggles with food insecurity and a high level of gender-based violence, which further weakens the health system.
