  • Women wearing masks during Sunday Mass at the Catholic Church inside the Protection of Civilians area in the United Nations base in Malakal, South Sudan. <br />
<br />
Some 35,000 people live in the camp, protected by UN peacekeeping troops. They were displaced from Malakal following the outbreak of a civil war in 2013. The armed conflict has a strong element of ethnic tension, and the mostly Shilluk and Nuer residents of the camp fear for their security from the largely Dinka population that has moved into their former town.

  • Maria Magdalena Fuentes, Barrio El Tigre, Santa Rita.<br />
<br />
Maria Magdalena was a beneficiary of a food programme during the Covid crisis. CASM supported people in need in the region of Copán. Covid created restrictions in the area, there were curfews, people could only go out once a fortnight, there were problems with transport too. Maria Magdalena makes a living by baking cakes and selling them, but couldn't travel to sell them so found herself in difficult circumstances.

  • 2 April 2022, Palorinya settlement, Obongi district, Uganda: Lutheran World Federation General Secretary Rev. Anne Burghardt hears the testimonies of two teenage mothers in the Palorinya refugee settlement, Obongi district, Uganda, as part of a visit to the LWF country program in Uganda in April 2022. When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, Ugandan schools were closed for two consecutive years. In the same period, LWF World Service has observed an increase in teenage pregnancies, with 1 in every 3 girls aged 15-18 now either being pregnant or having given birth to a child. The issue is not limited to refugee settlements, as the same trend is seen both in refugee settlements and among host communities. And while the problem is not new, two years of pandemic has meant a dramatic increase, from formerly 1 in every 5 girls. The Palorinya refugee settlement, in Obongi district, West Nile area of northern Uganda, hosts more than 128,000 refugees, the majority of which arrived following the eruption of war in South Sudan in 2013. Palorinya is the second largest refugee settlement in Uganda. The refugees and host communities in the area receive support from the Lutheran World Federation World Service program in Uganda.
