5-Year Sustainability Plan

Support a Student’s Journey through School in South Sudan or Kenya

Most students complete their university education within 4 to 5 years. What is crucial for us is to keep our students in school instead of dropping out due to a lack of funds to cover their tuition. We can connect you directly to a student’s school if you so desire.

Community Jubilation for the answered prayer:

The Kuom community in Aweil, South Sudan, is celebrating the blessing of clean water. Last month, when my wife Aluel, co-founder of Undying Hope, visited Aweil, she delivered an inspiring message on a local radio station. In response, a drilling company offered us a borehole, turning our dream into a reality and bringing joy to the community.

An Inspiring Message from Dr. Evaline W.

Story of Hope:

CHEERLEADER

With a warm smile he called out “ya sister, inta mashi Gudele?” which is translated from Juba Arabic as “sister, are you going to Gudele?” There was a persuasion in his voice that made me hop onto his tuktuk even when my plan was to board a big bus whose fare is slightly cheaper so I could save some change for other needs.

He rode and up ahead around a corner, we met a school girl coming out of the school gate and she said “I have 1000 SSP only, will you take me to Buwaba?” He replied “it’s okay, get in.” We rode on and two women got on board. The girl got off at Buwaba and when she pulled out the money to give him, he said “leave it, little sister.” She was joyously surprised and at once said “thank you, brother.” The two women also alighted at the next stop and paid their fare.

I said to him, “Not many riders would do what you have just done for the little girl. You, know – missing an opportunity to make money. You are such a kind person.” He smiled and nodded. After, a small pause he said, “I am a student myself and such kindness would mean the world to me. You see, education is our collective responsibility and we can each carry out our part to shoulder the weight. However little or insignificant the contribution may seem to you, carry it out. You never know how much weight you are lifting off someone.” Wow! So, if he had refused to help this little girl who only had a little money which was not even enough for the fare, she would have to walk that journey through the hot afternoon (at about 3pm the temperature is about thirty – something degrees).

We chatted on and I discovered he was a senior four leaver and was riding tuktuk to save up for his university tuition (well, at least part of it). He was such an inspiration – a kind hearted young man who cheers others on amidst such really hard times. God bless him and may He also make us all see how we can assist and make the burden of education lighter in our various capacities.
