Help Them Start a New Life with a CSI SACK OF HOPE!
|
|
|
|
|
Tens of thousands of southern Sudanese women and children have been enslaved and carried to northern Sudan since 1983. CSI has liberated many and returned them to their homeland in southern Sudan. What happens to them next? After years of slavery and suffering, those freed from slavery by Christian Solidarity International are returning with no home and no food. They are facing extreme famine which will last until the next harvest in August and September. We cannot free them and forget about them! |

CSI workers pass out millet. Millet contains protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, and is the most important staple food in Africa. A 12-kilo portion is enough to feed a family for a week.

Christian Solidarity International is working to provide every returning family with a special start-up sack containing the essentials to begin a new life.

The start-up SACK OF HOPE contains:

Tarpaulin to offer shelter from rain and sun which can also be used as a groundsheet
