  • A blind man touches his face as he participates in a trauma healing workshop at the Rejaf School for the Blind in Juba, South Sudan. <br />
<br />
Sponsored by Solidarity with South Sudan and building on the work of Capacitar, the workshops help displaced people and others affected by South Sudan's violence--in this case the blind and visually-challenged--to learn body-based practices that empower them to use their inner wisdom to heal and transform themselves in order to heal injustice and build peace in their families and communities.

  • The climate crisis is making life difficult for James Kuony Malual. He's been a successful farmer in Akobo, South Sudan, growing crops to feed his six wives and send 18 of his children to school in Uganda and Ethiopia. But he says he can no longer depend on the weather. The rains don't come when they used to, and when they do come, they cause flooding worse than he's even seen. The last three years have been totally unpredictable, and he has lost more of his crops than he has been able to harvest. <br />
<br />
DanChurchAid, a member of the ACT Alliance, has helped him diversify his crops, planting more vegetables that he can sell in the market in town, but it's a tough time to be a farmer in his part of the world.<br />
<br />
DanChurchAid is providing support for livelihood activities and food security in Akobo in partnership with Nile Hope, a South Sudanese organization. <br />

  • The climate crisis is making life difficult for James Kuony Malual. He's been a successful farmer in Akobo, South Sudan, growing crops to feed his six wives and send 18 of his children to school in Uganda and Ethiopia. But he says he can no longer depend on the weather. The rains don't come when they used to, and when they do come, they cause flooding worse than he's even seen. The last three years have been totally unpredictable, and he has lost more of his crops than he has been able to harvest. <br />
<br />
DanChurchAid, a member of the ACT Alliance, has helped him diversify his crops, planting more vegetables that he can sell in the market in town, but it's a tough time to be a farmer in his part of the world.<br />
<br />
DanChurchAid is providing support for livelihood activities and food security in Akobo in partnership with Nile Hope, a South Sudanese organization.

  • Aluel Yuot (right) and her husband James Biar tie sticks together as they construct a shelter in the internally displaced persons camp in Turalei, South Sudan. Families started arriving here shortly after fighting broke out in December 2013, and new families continued to arrive in March 2014 as fighting continued. Many are living in the open and under trees. The ACT Alliance is providing the displaced families and the host communities affected by their presence with a variety of support, including new wells.

  • Anouk Noel (left), 30, is one of 600 people living with disabilities in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, who have received a six-month, US$75 per month grant from Church World Service, a member of the ACT Alliance. Working with Service Chretien d´Haiti and the Cuban Council of Churches, CWS has provided a variety of emergency services to people living with disabilities since the devastating January 2010 quake ravaged the capital city and nearby areas. Noel's family has used the CWS grant to purchase cosmetic items that family members have then resold on the market, earning a profit to support the family. The home Noel shares with her family has also been partially repaired as part of the CWS program (the repaired portion can be seen in back), allowing Noel to return to her home in November following nine months in one of Port-au-Prince's crowded tent cities. "I had given up hope that we'd be able to come back," she says. Noel has also joined other disabled persons during regular emotional recovery events, often singing solo during the gatherings. Noel is an achondroplastic dwarf, and has lost the use of her legs. Here she sits on a portion of the roof above her rebuilt home, talking with James Mwangi, a professor of engineering at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo who is a volunteer with the Mennonite Central Committee. Mwangi supervised the repair work on Noel's home.
