Nyayany Kuetu and her daughter Nyapal pose with one of the cabbage plants in their garden in Nyikan, a small village along the Akobo River in South Sudan, near the country's border with Ethiopia.

The family doesn't have a long experience with vegetables, but in response to recent flooding that left many in the community on the brink of starvation, hte family diversified its plantings. With seeds and training from DanChurchAid, a member of the ACT Alliance, they are growing a wide variety of vegetables.

Working with Nile Hope, a South Sudanese organization, DanChurchAid expanded its work in the area in response to the unprecedented flooding and fighting. It is helping families with food and livelihood projects aimed at lowering vulnerability and increasing food security at a time when the arrival of many newly displaced families increased competition in the community over scarce food resources. Many families, including this one, also received goats as part of the program.
