JUBA, 22 August 2017 [Gurtong] – In 2015, U.S. Ambassador Molly Phee
won the U.S. Department of State’s Sue. M. Cobb award in the amount of
$5,000USD. She asked the former Ambassador Susan Page to select a
local organization devoted to assisting South Sudanese women to
receive the award money.
Nile Hope “Prevention and provision of GBV services to survivors in
Mangaten” project aims to address the issue of GBV through building
capacity of Mangaten community leaders by:
1.Service Mapping- providing accurate and updated information
regarding where and which types of support services are available for
community members.
2. Training community leaders on identifying, addressing, and preventing GBV.
3. Organizing multiple GBV awareness campaigns in the community via
door to door engagement, posters, and handouts that discuss the issue
and share resources for victims.
Nile Hope is a South Sudanese humanitarian organization that seeks to
strengthen communities for sustainable development via projects in the
areas of health, education, protection, and peace building. Its
Protection Department was founded in 2009 to address and prevent the
issue of GBV.
“During my assignment to South Sudan, countless women and girls have
suffered from sexual assault. I have great admiration for the work of
Nile Hope in assisting communities in need and I am confident they
will use these resources to help the fight against gender-based
violence by increasing awareness and providing support to victims.
Like me, Ambassador Page has great admiration for the women and girls
of this country and we share a desire to see improvements in their
safety and security,” said Ambassador Phee.
In 2016, the United States provided over $2million USD to support the
fight against GBV through South Sudan’s education and health sectors.
