Sponsor a Child in Africa: Providing Lifesaving Aid in South Sudan

The protracted war in South Sudan has brought untold suffering to the people, displacing thousands and disrupting livelihoods. Most areas also suffer from floods making it difficult to plant any crops. The most vulnerable are the children and the elderly who bear the blunt of the resultant famine.

Christian Mission Aid  provides food and treats malnourished children, pregnant and lactating mothers, and the elderly. You can help by choosing to sponsor a child in Africa through CMA’s programs.

South Sudan has widespread nutrition and medical needs.

SMART GIRL & BOY INITIATIVE

Many Kenyan school going girls cannot afford sanitary items, and as a result, miss class every year due to their menstrual cycles. School absence lowers girls’ academic performance and self-esteem and widens gender disparities. Through Christian Mission Aid’s Smart Girl program, adolescent girls are provided with educational lectures, counselling and sanitary kits, giving them a better understanding and confidence of who they are and allowing them to stay in school. Young adolescent boys are also provided with lectures and education on pear pressure, drugs, character building, health, sexual matters and proper behavior in relationships. All education and counselling on based on Christian principles.
