South Sudan became the world’s youngest nation in 2011. It was a time of incredible hope. After decades of struggle, people finally had a country to call their own. But the celebration did not last long. In 2013, a political struggle between leaders turned into a civil war. This conflict split the country and affected families everywhere.
The impact of the war has been devastating. Millions of people had to leave their homes. Some stayed within the country as displaced persons, while others fled to neighboring nations as refugees. Today, many people still face extreme hunger and a lack of basic healthcare. Children have lost years of school, and families are struggling to find a sense of safety.
This is why the Relief Organization for South Sudan (ROSS – Europe) exists. ROSS – Europe acts as a humanitarian wing to coordinate emergency help. We work with international partners to make sure aid reaches the communities that need it most. Our goal is to save lives and restore dignity. We want to help people move from just surviving on relief to rebuilding their lives through rehabilitation. By helping people use their natural resources, we can help them become independent again.
