60 Orphans Wait in Kakuma for a Better Life

These 60 South Sudanese orphans were interviewed in April 2024 as they were recommended by community elders because of their leadership potential and health risks. All suffer from malnutrition as they only eat one meal per day that they must share with another refugee.  Classes are large with no books.  These students yearn for a proper education that Seeds can provide with the help of sponsors.

Those who assisted with the selection are:  Community Elder John (back row, left and founder Arok Garang in the blue shirt), Seeds sponsorship chair Eileen Steeg front row (in orange) with help from high school graduates Apajok Dheiu Deng (white dress, left) and Aleer Jok Atem, far right in white shirt.  Apajok and Aleer scored highly enough on their graduation exam to be considered for f ull scholarships to Canada.

For more information on sponsoring these children, email Eileen at eileen@seedsofsouthsudan.org  or leave a message at (720) 644-6662.
