Southern Sudanese Children’s Literacy Foundation
Since 2002, the members of the Southern Sudanese Children’s Literacy Foundation have been working hard to try to address the issue of Literacy in their original home town of Chukudum and other areas in Southern Sudan. So far, they have managed to contribute a considerable amount of money that is now used to build Primary School in Ngatuba-Budi County in Southern Sudan.

About SSCLF
The Southern Sudanese Children’s Literacy Foundation (SSCLF) has formed a society to provide the resources for its members to meet in a friendly and social setting to further our goals and objectives:
- To improve the quality of life in the villages of southern Sudan in which children and families live through a network of community centres and community schools that become hubs of their communities and offer both adults and children opportunities for enriching activities such as native language and ESL classes, and technology centres.
- The centres and schools also offer medical, dental and mental health services, social services and full ranges of educational and recreational programming.
- To raise money to provide for the basic education for the girls and boys, and to educate young people about safe sex, importance of health and local agriculture in southern Sudan, particularly in Budi county.
Even though SSCLF members are scattered all over North America and Africa, they are all working together to ensure that the goals for which SSCLF was formed will be achieved. SSCLF goals will be to address issues of illiteracy, gender and providing basic services to the children and families in Southern Sudan.
Goals
- Create a network of community centers and community schools that will ultimately become hubs of their communities. Offering both adults and children opportunities with enriching activities such as native languages and English and technology classes.
- Educate people the importance of health and local agriculture in Southern Sudan. Also, to introduce awareness of the practice of safe sex to the young people.
Future plans
- To build centers and schools that offer medical, dental, mental health and social services and a full range of educational and recreational programming.
