Our History
The civil wars between the North and South that ravaged Sudan since 1956 are among the worst and most under-reported humanitarian disasters of our time.

The Republic of South Sudan celebrated independence on July 9th 2011.  This is a huge opportunity for the people of South Sudan.  It is an opportunity to create a future where health, education, security, food and economic independence can be realized. 

Due to decades of war there is still limited government capacity and resources, which leaves people in rural villages such as Kalthok, Southern Sudan  struggling to meet their most basic needs.  Refugees who have returned are without assets, access to land, livestock, jobs or skills and  dependent on foreign aid. De-commissioned soldiers are without work and often lack any necessary skills to find employment.  The Southern Sudanese are ready for new opportunities. SUDEF’s programs and community directed approach breaks this cycle of poverty and dependence. 

Our mission is to work with the local community to provide opportunities for the Southern Sudanese to become active participants in their future and the well-being of their country.
