South Sudan: relief project for refugees

19 October 2023

Bishop Joseph Mamer of the Diocese of Wanyjok reports, “Praise the Lord! We are thankful to the Lord in everything. My diocesan team was in the field last week and met with the UN, other NGOs and the commission that is responsible for coordinating refugee affairs. The members also met with the leaders of refugee groups. We have been allowed by the authorities to begin registering beneficiaries who will get cash transfers.”

Praise God for this collaboration and pray for the help to reach those it needs to and for the neighbouring communities to be good hosts to the refugees and returnees.
