The Arise and Shine program offers tailored support to South Sudanese communities based on their unique context and needs.
Extreme events, including natural disasters and inter-communal violence, over the past decades in South Sudan have left visible destruction in their wake.
The burned houses of the displaced, the barren fields where crops used to grow, and the battered bodies of survivors all can be seen, healed, and given medical attention.
But what about the damage that cannot be seen? What about the difficulty sleeping, managing emotional responses, problem-solving, or trusting others that plague survivors? These “invisible wounds” find their way into all projects and affect intended outcomes in immeasurable ways.
The “invisible wounds” may keep people from attending meetings regularly and they may hinder individuals from taking risks or thinking long-term
