PROJECT PROPOSAL ON ORPHANS & STREET CHILDREN A Background to the Project South Sudan has travelled a hard road over the last century. A largely ignored part of British colonial administration, it was unceremoniously lumped together with its northern neighbour Sudan just before independence from Britain in 1956. Fifty years of struggle followed, during which multiple southern rebel movements challenged successive administrations based in the northern capital of Khartoum. Central governments coveted the south’s rich natural resource base, particularly after oil was discovered there in the late 1970s, but generally neglected the southern region. Institutionalized inequality and scant development spending by Khartoum fuelled anger and resentment in the south. The split was also along cultural and religious lines, with northern governments promoting a national vision built primarily on the idea of Sudan as an Arab and Muslim country, identities that were sometimes forcefully imposed on the African and non-Muslim southerners. The first civil war ran from 1956 to 1972, ending with a settlement that brought a decade of peace and gave the south its first regional administration. The second civil war broke out in 1983 and continued until the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) was signed in 2005 between Khartoum and the rebel Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A), paving the way for South Sudan’s independence in 2011. Development during the years of war was scant, and southern Sudan was split between government-controlled garrison towns and the countryside, where the SPLM/A held sway. International engagement was mostly limited to humanitarian aid. Millions of southerners fled to the north or to neighbouring countries as refugees, receiving access to education and services that were not widely available in the south during the conflict. Over time, a growing number of southern Sudanese voiced a demand for self-determination as the ultimate solution to their conflict with Khartoum. After massive need assessment was carried out by Christian Development Agency{CDA} in the whole of Bahr el Ghazal region, there was a need to help alleviate most of the threatening issues in various communities; peace building, conflict transformation, orphans & street children, education, agriculture, health care, evangelism, water access, church workers development through training in different capacities. Christian Development Agency {CDA} is a Christian based agency with values of integrity, honesty, humility, accountability and transparency.
Christian Development Agency {CDA} is a Christian NGO formed in 2016 to serve the communities in Bahr el Ghazal region. CDA originally support the Churches and community to do development projects. The organization focuses on the following programs: Education, Agriculture, Health care, Evangelism, Water, Church development training of the pastors and scholarships for different fields. We have been identifying orphans & street children through our volunteers, citizens, evangelists, women & social development department in Twic State. We Pre-view of the incoming orphans & street children problems or difficulties. We counsel and arrange for Emotional acceptance of the orphans & street children. We provide Lodging and boarding facilities for all inmates at a rented building in Twic Archdeaconry’s Turalei town, Gogrial Diocese. We arranged teaching facilities in nearby schools according to their age. We also provide home tuitions, recreation and health care. We have been running the Orphanage with local donations and contributions only. We are mobilizing both cash and kind. We have limited resources to take care of about 50 orphans & street children. But, day by day numbers of children are increasing due to various reasons. We need additional support from the donors to meet the needs of increasing orphans & street children in our center. We seek support for about 1 year. Meanwhile, we will sustain to mobilize continuous local donations through exhibiting our good work and service. We are planning to build permanent home by acquiring land from the donors. The proposal covers 50 orphans & street children. Every child will be provided with nutritional diet, indoors and out-door recreation and play facilities and training in crafts and hobbies.
