Establishing Communial Food Security

Community Food Security is a system approach that addresses hunger and food security at a community level, including local infrastructure, economic and job security, food recovery and donations, education and awareness, and community food production and marketings.

Just like with education, the war in South Sudan has greatly affected food availability thus leaving a majority of people hungry and highly malnourished. Coupled with severe climate in the region, a majority of the population remains vulnerable to hunger and other related diseases that continue to claim many lives. As an initiative of GEPO, we have started with offering of food donations to the affected community members. While this is not a lasting solution, it however cautions vulnerable families in the immediate time. However, for the future we hope to focus more on sustainable agriculture for the locals. This will include drilling boreholes for agricultural irrigation productions and also offer seeds and other assistances to ensure that the community establishes a food secure environment. To achieve the cause, we need patners and donors on board to achieve our goals for a better humanity.
