About South Sudan and GSEF
Since its independence in 2011, South Sudan has been one of the most fragile countries in the world. It struggles with a number of serious interrelated problems, including: civil war and ethnic tensions; food insecurity, severe poverty, and rampant disease; and a lack of infrastructure. Over 2 million South Sudanese have fled the country as refugees. Another 2 million are internally displaced.
The Good Shepherd Educational Foundation (GSEF) is uniquely positioned to address many of these concerns by providing Christian education — fostering hope, unity, and peace.
