After over two decades of a civil war that costs millions of lives, the southern Sudan is beginning to rebuild as thousands of refugees return to the region. The lack of schools and teachers in the region has kept an estimated 80% of school age children out of school. Direct Change is in the process of identifying partners to rebuild schools, train teachers and to assist in the redevelopment of the educational system throughout southern Sudan.
While most Direct Change projects focus on ongoing support, the situation in this region requires the creation of sustainable infrastructure.
