Goats help families fight hunger in South Sudan

Add to Lightbox Download

A woman shucks corn on an isolated farm along the Akobo River in South Sudan, near the country's border with Ethiopia.

In response to unprecedented flooding and fighting in the area, DanChurchAid, a member of the ACT Alliance, 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 woman's family, received goats as part of the program, which was carried out by Nile Hope, a South Sudanese NGO.
