6. Purpose of the Project:
Describe briefly your project.
What is desired result? What steps
do you intend to take to achieve
that result?
In 2011, South Sudan constituted its pedagogy as it was one of the
world's newest nations, in eastern Africa. It is one of the world
poorest nations with rich natural resources such as world famous
Nile and rich oil reserve. Among the population of 82, 60,490 only
27% are literate. The country is divided into ten states. While
English, Arabic are the common language it also have other regional
languages such as Dinka, Nuer, Bari, Zande which widely spoken by
the people. Even there are several ethnic groups in the country the
majority are Dinka people who constitute almost 35.8% and Nuer –
15.6% in the total population. However, political tensions between
South Sudan and its northern neighbor remain and the security
situation continues to be fragile.
In spite of the joy that greeted independence, the people of South
Sudan are facing incredible challenges and dramatic socioeconomic
conditions. South Sudan is one of the continent's poorest nations.
Less than one in five South Sudanese know how to read and write.
Christian communities are more and scattered in Wau and Juba,
South Sudan and they are more vibrant in spirituality. They are
basically having this natural inclination to love and serve the lord but
they don’t know how to do systematically. After the entry of me into
this parish, South Sudan, there was a turn over that people improved
their faith in God and improved their life style with a quality of life.
The missions are to preach the word of God and help the people to
come closer to God.
The recent ethic war separated family members and our parish
committee struggled to reach them out to extent their services.
However, they walked miles across to reach them out soon after the
moderate situation happened and stepped in this deplorable situation
and reached out 5000 families with their relief works and basic
supports to give them back their moderate normal life. They all
prayed together and strengthened thier spiritulaity for a new
dignified life. At present, the affected children and women enjoy the
happiness and freedom from conflict situations through awareness
programs and activities. It is noteworthy to say we have the power to
find their own solutions (i.e. prayer) to conflict and to promote peace
among the victims. In rebuilding the faith of the people, we the
parish committee move into the remote locations at any corner of the
village to promote and strengthen their faith in and through various
spiritual activities such as taking part and motivating the Christian
communities to take part as well in the Celebration of Holy
Eucharist in Parishes, substations, preparation of catholic population
to receive the Holy Sacraments, community prayer services, teaching
catechism for children and youth.
Beside pastoral care, they do social services to develop the standard
 of people through various developmental and welfare programs such
as organizing the unorganized people, livelihood support for women
living in poverty, vocational skill trainings, moral and non-formal
education etc. People accepted appreciated our services.

Purpose is we have one Parish namely Christ the King which

includes 102 chapels and 43 centers. We are with the noble
programme that we would like to provide spiritual enhancement
