World Concern - One Village Transformed Lietnhom

http://www.worldconcern.org/onevillage/southsudan

Sometimes you might feel powerless to help people suffering in poverty. The problems seem too big. Our perspective: We can't change the whole world, but together, we can see One Village Transformed.

World Concern's campaign matches you with a community for three years. With your support, we will work with the community to accomplish specific goals as they begin to see a better future emerge.

Lietnhom is a village in South Sudan, the world's newest country, which celebrated its independence in July 2011. But 20 years of civil war took its toll on the people here. More than two million died. Four million were displaced from their homes. The war depleted livelihoods and left most of South Sudan without basic infrastructure and government services.

With you, World Concern will walk alongside families in Lietnhom, helping them build their lives and their community from the ground up. Together, we'll focus on long-term solutions, so the people of Lietnhom can stand on their own.

Our priorities over these next three years will include: Educating children and training adults in job skills Improving farming to increase food security Establishing a local economy through microfinance and village banking

For $33 a month for three years, you will make a powerful and significant investment in the lives of struggling families.
We cannot do this without you.
