4 WAYS UNICEF IS HELPING CHILDREN IN SOUTH SUDAN

January 19, 2021
Sarah Ferguson


Large-scale drought and flooding, acute levels of food insecurity and COVID-19
have made life increasingly difficult for children in the world's youngest
country. The longterm impacts of climate change and years of violent civil
conflict have displaced millions. Nearly half the country — 7.5 million people,
including 4.1 million children — are in urgent need of humanitarian aid.

As South Sudan continues to build resilience and work towards a lasting peace,
UNICEF is on the ground, making sure children get the immunizations, clean
water, education and nutrition they need to survive and thrive. 

 



 


IMMUNIZATION

 

Routine vaccinations have continued in South Sudan during the COVID-19 pandemic,
where less than 50 percent of children are immunized, and many live far from
health care facilities. "Vaccination is very important in protecting children
against killer diseases like measles, polio and tetanus," says UNICEF
Immunization Specialist Samuel Patti, above. "I feel I am serving children who
are really in need, because immunization services are key to survival." 

 

Plans are underway to roll out a COVID-19 mass vaccination campaign. As head of
procurement and supply for the Global COVAX Facility, an initiiative led by
the World Health Organization, CEPI and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, UNICEF is in
charge of distributing the COVID-19 vaccine to more than 180 countries. In South
Sudan, where less than a third of the population is connected to the power grid,
and where it's not uncommon for daytime temperatures to hit 100 degrees
Fahrenheit, UNICEF has equipped over 700 health facilities with solar-powered
fridges to properly store the vaccine.

WATER

 

Only 40 percent of South Sudan's population can access safe water, leaving
children vulnerable to disease. The UNICEF-supported Rubkona water treatment
plant has 16 water points where parents like the women above can go to fill
their buckets with safe drinking water. A community water committee keeps the
site clean and locks it up at night. The committee also organizes the queue to
avoid arguments over who's next in line.

 

“I have seven children, and as a mother I have been worried a lot because of
dirty water," says Mary Nyalow Malual, a member of the community water
committee. "Now, we see less illness and less diarrhea, not only among the
children but also among the rest of us." In the coming year, UNICEF plans to
reach 817,000 people with safe water for drinking, cooking and personal hygiene.

EDUCATION


South Sudan's government closed schools in March 2020 to prevent the spread of
the novel coronavirus, disrupting the educations of 2 million students, on top
of the 2.2 million children who were already out of school before COVID-19. To
keep children learning, UNICEF worked with the Ministry of General Education and
Instruction and other partners to launch a radio education program.

 

"My favorite subject is science, because I am understanding it very well," says
12-year-old Marline John. "I want to be a doctor, because I want to help my
sisters and brothers in South Sudan." Home-based learning isn't the same,
Marline says, because she can't ask teachers questions and she misses her
friends. Thankfully, schools have begun to reopen now in South Sudan. The radio
education program will continue to offer lessons to those still unable to attend
in-person classes.

NUTRITION

 

Many children in South Sudan rely on school meals for their only meal of the
day. During school closures, parents have struggled to afford enough food to
feed their families. Sixteen-year-old Josephine, above, is happy to be back in
class at the recently reopened Dumat Primary School in Torit, South Sudan, where
UNICEF partners with the World Food Program to provide school meals and
classroom instruction. Josephine is in her final year and eager to prepare for
her exams — and to have the daily portion of beans and sorghum the school
provides for every student. "Without this food we can't survive," she says.  

 

UNICEF health workers screen children for malnutrition and provide Ready-to-Use
Therapeutic Food to bring malnourished children back to health. In 2021, UNICEF
will provide feeding information and support for 1.1 million caregivers of
infants and young children. © UNICEFSouthSudan/Chol

 

Your generous donation will support UNICEF's work in South Sudan.
