We're a non-profit striving to make a difference in South Sudan.
About South Sudan
God's heart is for us to care for the widows and orphans. After Deanna's visit to South Sudan and later Kakuma Refugee Camp, nothing could have prepared her for the severe poverty that was especially harsh on the women and children. However, it was the women that held not only their families together, but their entire communities with strong faith, inner beauty, and resolve. Thus, our challenge now is to come alongside these women and orphans to empower them through care, support, training, education, and vocation to help give them a HOPE and a future. Taking an orphan out of such dire conditions not only changes the trajectory of their young lives, but it gives hope to their entire communities, and to their country!

Where We Came From
2001
Jean Wood, 'Momma Jean,' along with some of the 'Lost Boys of South Sudan,' who came to the U.S. in 2001 after fleeing their homeland from the genocide, started this nonprofit to help those 'lost boys' here in the U.S. with their education. After many 'lost boys,' now 'found men,' achieved higher education, jobs, and careers efforts then shifted to building a school in South Sudan; completed in 2011.
2013
Due to a political crisis that erupted in December 2013, war and violence broke out, as well the on slot of drought and famine, once again the South Sudanese (mostly women and children) had to flee. Over one million people escaped to refugee camps in Kenya and Uganda.
2015 - 2020
Deanna Chilton, a long-time board member and supporter of the South Sudanese stepped into the role of President. The Chilton family first met the 'lost boys' in CO in 2003 and have loved them as their own family ever since. Efforts were made to focus on rebuilding sustainable communities and a women's center in South Sudan, but endeavors were throated due to unrest, famine and an unprecedented locust swam and rainy season.
2021 - Present Day
It is hard to believe it has been 30 years now since the original 'lost boys of South Sudan' left Kakuma Refugee Camp where they spent 10+ years and came to America to make a new and better life. It is heartbreaking to state that what began in Kakuma as a safe place for these beloved children numbering 16,000, is now busting at the seams with almost 180,000 refugees mostly South Sudanese, but also Ethiopian, Somalian, Rwandan...Our nonprofit is focusing our efforts on taking orphans out of this over-crowded refugee camp to provide them with care, love, education and HOPE! It only takes $150/month to support an orphan. Won't you consider this or a one-time donation today?
