AVSI - Asociazione Volontari per il Servizio Internazionale (South Sudan)

Since 2013, South Sudan has suffered an ongoing conflict which has left millions of displaced persons and refugees. Political instability, famine severe droughts, frequent and constant flooding are factors that contribute to one of the most serious food crisis on the planet.

AVSI is present in three States: in Eastern Equatoria State (EES) the Lakes, the Eastern and Central Equatorial regions, with offices in Juba, Torit, Isohe and Bahrgel working on nutritional, health care, educational and food security projects. Here, the challenge is to try to promote development against a background of continuous emergency: AVSI tries to do this through education, thanks to the distance support program in partneship with St. Mary's College.
