GIRL CHILD EDUCATION PROJECT PHASE II
My name is Josephina Amok Tong a student in Marol Deng Geng Primary School in Malual Center. I’m a Primary six (P.6) student and a member of Income Generating Activities (IGA). Before joining life skills training, I had no skills to make handy work like bread, Mandazi, and Sambusa because there was no one who came up with this idea to teach and train us. But after Joining this initiative in Marol Deng Geng Primary School, I learned how to baked, and I realized the important of earning from it which will enable me to provide for my personal needs and buy books, pens, uniform , and even pay my tuition on my own when my parents can’t afford. I am happy with this initiative because the skills we attained will never fade. I am we equipped with knowledge and will no longer be a burden to my parents after this training. I appreciate SPEDP and the partner’s for bringing this initiative here in Malual Center. Josephina further urged the initiative to continue in other location/ community where there were vulnerable girls to reduce the rate of school dropout in their payams.
SUCCESS STORIES
My name is Angelina Nyagwalili, I’m doing Bakery training at SPEDP centre in Bor PoC. So far, I have learnt so many skills in baking. I know how to make Mandazi, cookies ( Biscuits) and bread. I have understand these initiative is good for me because I’m a single mother with big responsibility to take. But after these training; when I start baking my own for business, every thing will be possible to me because I will get enough money from the business and it will sustain my children and my life hence the skills is a lasting idea in human being. I would like to thank SPEDP and UNDP for brining these initiative to us here in Bor PoC and targeting women, as women in the PoC we are the victims of the conflict in these country, we are traumatize , ran to PoC as we are in Prison because no freedom of movement. Before these training I was loosing hope of better ness and changes in my emotions and life but now the skills that I have so far achieved has build confidence in me . When peace is prevail I will be a great woman who can take care of my children on my own such that they achieve what they want become in future.
My name is Chol Del Wol , I am living here in Bor Poc now four years since the war broke out. Since I came here in the PoC I didn’t come across these kind of initiative SPEDP and UNDP has brought to us. Women here in PoC has lost hope and always thinking negative but when these initiative was brought I can feel there is change in me because everything is going on well since day one of the training. Life is becoming simple and easy for me because I have learnt how to sew/ design bed shed both with machine and hand. So far, I can make like four in a day and these will earn me money for living and take good responsibility of my family and children. As women here in the PoC, we are very happy for these initiative brought to us by SPEDP and UNDP to transform our lives and hinder economics amongst family. May God bless you and open every possible way forward for your plan to help vulnerable people across South Sudan.
OUR PROJECTS GALLERY
CMMF stands for Community Managed Micro-Finance however, in our CMMF methodology we don’t give cash to the group but knowledge on how to save and invest. In our methodology, members of a self-selected group voluntarily form CMMF groups and save money through purchase of shares then invest their savings in loans fund for members to borrow and repay with interest.
