I am a qualified doctor and I have nearly completed my studies to become a surgeon. I was recently given a job by a national NGO based in Juba, South Sudan and they have sent me to Leer for work to help those most in need. Special thanks to Gua Africa, and each one of you who have played a role in getting me this far.

We have recently partnered with Windle Trust International on a vocational training programme in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya. So far we have raised £9,000 through the BIG GIVE challenge to support this initiative with the building of an IT facility at the camp.

Gua Africa improved the facilities at two local primary schools in Leer (the home-place of our founder Emmanuel Jal). We continued to support the schools with the provision of resources such as books, pencils and teacher’s salaries that ensure schools remain open during times of emergency.

Gua Africa took My Start project under its charity umbrella to facilitate creative art programming at Kakuma refugee camp. My Start is an arts project, which tackles the subject of conflict and displacement in a truly unique way; offering high quality creative education to young refugees and delivering exceptional learning resources to students in the UK.
