Our Beliefs

We believe that the only way to successfully help children orphans in Southern Sudan is through a holistic approach that addresses all of the children's needs and development simultaneously. The issues and challenges these orphans face are interconnected; the solutions to these problems should reflect and incorporate this complex relationship.

We also believe that all children need the same love, care, understanding, and emotional nourishment that are necessary for growth and development.

Unfortunately, more than 1 million orphans in Southern Sudan are in need of much more. They lack the tools and resources that are vital to pursuing their safety, educations and leading healthy, productive lives; attending schools significantly inspires their futures.

A part from abandoned children and orphans emotional needs, they deserve: 

• Shelters and clinics
  
• Outstanding educations
  
• Dedicated faculties
  
• Proper school facilities
  
• School equipment, furniture and supplies
  
• Food and social interaction
  
• Psychological counseling to console children about their parents’ deaths
  
• THAM prevention class forums and courses
  
• Weekly nurse visits to check up on the students’ health
  
• Arts and sports programs 
  

We aim to deliver all of these services, and address all of the EDUCATION, THAM, and SOCIAL SUPPORT for children and orphans’ needs at once, in a timely and effective manner. Lastly, we will pursue these goals through our collaboration with the local communities, and hopefully with your help.   

Our emphasis on partnership and self-sustainability

Most importantly, the Aid and Care operates as a facilitator and an enabler, whereby the Sudanese people assume a considerable amount of responsibility and ownership of each project because, ultimately, the community knows its strengths and weaknesses in order to best help itself.

Culturally, Sudanese citizens insist that first they must strive to solve their problems on their own before asking anyone else for assistance. We are  not replacing their efforts—we are reinvigorating them through close-knit collaboration and partnership. And of course they lack of ways to find these opportunities.

The  Aid and Care firmly believes that involving the community is not a choice; it is a necessity. As a grass-roots organization, we simply cannot improve the conditions in the country on our own. We need the help of local communities just as much as we need the aid of generous charitable donors. 

Before beginning any project, we first build strong bonds with the community in the targeted area. Constructing schools and forging long-lasting relationships with the local population is mutually constitutive; this partnership is crucial in order to attain our desired results. While the  Aid and Care and its initiatives does operate on our own set of practices, we consult community leaders on a regular basis; their input is valuable and important. The staff members at the Aid and Care and the local citizenry, each bring a certain set of skills and knowledge to the table. Collaboration is the only method to achieve success; and, after all, both parties want what is best for these orphans. 

Additionally, one of the added benefits of a program succeeding is the pride and confidence the local community gains precisely because of their direct involvement in the very project designed to help them; utilizing their experience and help fosters a greater level of diligence and commitment when the members of local communities participate in our project.  

We recognize that self-sustainability is the key to opening the potential of the people in Southern Sudan and Rwanda ; empowering the village members to identify and vocalize the appropriate approach, given their circumstances, significantly increases their involvement and the likelihood of success. The families and people most affected by extreme , Illiteracy, poverty and THAM will no longer be, or feel, detached from the development programs that serve them; the beneficiaries will be engaged, and will participate in all of the initiatives.
