Save South Sudanese Orphans and Widows project PPT
• Kakuma refugees camp situation
• Refugees situation in UN compounds in South Sudan
• What can SSSOW do to help thousands of children that are malnourished?
My life experience and what I found out in the camps.
• It was heartbreaking to see thousands of people suffering from waterborne diseases because they have no access to clean drinking water, and to see the food insecurity which increases malnutrition.
Issues faced by Kakuma refugees camp in Kenya
• There is a shortage of food, clean water, medicine, and mosquito nets
• Schools are crowded with students, but there are no chairs, books, space nor enough teachers
These water pumps are only open for two hours a day and it is not enough for the population, according to
the people in the camp.
Need for medicine
• Most of the children and adults in the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya are in risk of:
• Typhoid, kidney stones, tuberculosis and many other diseases caused by malnutrition.
• Malaria is common to little children.
Kakuma girl’s and boy’s primary school
• The two schools that I took photos at are:
• Baar El Naam Boys Primary School and Jebel Mara Girls Primary School
South Sudan wars have impacted millions of people (mostly children and the elderly).
• Tens of thousands of people have been killed. • More than 1.5 million people have been
displaced according to the UN (United Nations).• Famine is predicted to kill more than 50,000
children by the end of the year if there is no solution.
• Most of these children are malnourished because they have no access to food, medicine, clean water, or security.
What can we do to help?
• Children need specific treatments to survive • Severe acute malnutrition can be treated with
specially formulated cost-effective therapies.• Ready to use therapeutic food cost is only
$0.35 per pack• This peanut based paste can bring a young
child back to normal weight within two to five weeks.
Therapeutic food continued
• Therapeutic milk costs only $0.61 per sachet • Rich in nutrients and easy to digest,
therapeutic milk helps to stabilize a child suffering from severe malnutrition.
• Oral rehydration salts cost $0.06 per sach• This simple solution of salts and minerals acts
quickly to reverse the loss of essential bodily fluids.

happening)
