South Sudanese Farmers are trained in groups and work together to encourage each other and get a good crop.

South Sudan Rebuilding Farming Project

Every year as a form of peace returns to the country, thousands of South Sudanese refugees and internally displaced peoples return to their homes to find nothing. Everything they have owned and even their means of livelihood have been destroyed. One of the first steps that needs to be taken is to make the people food secure. SALT, PEER Servants’ South Sudanese Partner, has offered a successful agriculture program in Yei and Morobo Counties (where 90% of families rely on their own farms to put food on the table) that has already made hundreds of South Sudanese families food secure. This year, SALT wants to bring the program to the next level by turning the best farmers into trainers of other farmers and create a Demo Farm to show farmers what grows well, especially in days of climate change. This Rebuilding Farming Project will reach 480 farmer families with not only food security, but specialized training, community support, and spiritual encouragement.
