Healing Ourselves, Healing Our World

Trauma healing is a necessary practice in South Sudan, a country wracked by violence, constant displacement, hunger. Helping people to heal and deal with their inner hurts means giving them back hope, restoring their motivation to move forward and look to the future with a renewed attitude. But it also means giving the country another chance, starting again together despite differences, to build a united and peaceful country. The Pastoral Solidarity team is committed to spreading the practice of trauma healing among all categories of the South Sudanese population: children, youth, people with disabilities, but also teachers and community leaders.

In addition, a new building is being constructed that will include the principle's office and two large classrooms that can hold up to 80 students for combined classes.
