KHOR WAKOW SCHOOL PROJECT

Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Our Mission

The Khor Wakow School Project wants to give all children in the Khor Wakow villages, regardless or age or gender, access to education. We recognize that children learn when their physical, spiritual, emotional, and social needs are met. KWSP will work with community elders, families, and the children themselves to identify ongoing needs in order to improve their lives and increase their hope and faith.

Who We Are

Two decades of unrest and civil war destroyed 2.5 million lives in South Sudan and infrastructure of the villages. Schools are among the institutional casualties leaving children with little option for formal education. As a whole, 64% of children in South Sudan do not attend school and 76% of adults cannot read or write.
