Sudan Activities

JCCP strives to help the children and youth of war-torn Sudan. As victims of conflict, the number of war orphans, underage mothers, child soldiers, repatriates and child refugees continues to soar, and the conditions surrounding them continue to worsen. Out of poverty, these children are unable to go to school, and turn to refuse collection, car washing, shoe-polishing and working in food outlets in order to survive, or inevitably end up on the streets.

JCCP's activities aim to help those aged 12-25 years old restore their autonomy, provide them with improved health education, prevent violence and crime and increase awareness of sexual abuse. In addition to this, employment training is provided to those over 15 years old in order to help them earn a living. Training focuses on skills for the highly employable tourist sector of Sudan, such as the hotel industry, restaurants and other services.

In 2009, JCCP established an office in Juba, the regional capital of Southern Sudan, in order to implement its aid projects to their highest potential.
Please help to support us in providing a better and brighter future for the youth of Sudan.

There are two long-standing conflicts ongoing in Sudan; firstly between the North and the South, and secondly the Humanitarian crisis in Darfur. Conflict between the North and South has occured as a result of attempts by the northern Muslim population to introduce Islamic Laws among the Christian population of the South. Further dispute has arisen as a result of conflicting interests surrounding oil reserves found in southern Sudan. Despite the signing of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement, which stipulated both Southern political independence and the equal share of oil revenues between the North and South, conflict continues to tear the country apart, resulting in more than 4 million refugees.

Furthermore, military conflict in the western region of Darfur between Arab and non-Arab ethnic groups has deteriorated since 2003 into what is now widely known as “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis”. The Janjaweed militia, supported by the Sudanese government, is thought to be responsible for the deaths of over 200,000 civilians and more than 1 million refugees and internally displaced people.

In May 2006, the Dafur Peace Agreement was signed between the Sudanese Government and the region's largest rebel organization the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) in an attempt to put an end to this three-year-long conflict. Despite this, numerous military groups refused to sign the agreement and violence remains widespread in the region.

The United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) was established in March 2005 in order to assist the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and to provide humanitarian aid and protect human rights. There are enormous aid demands in southern Sudan which partially include transportation assistance for refugee repatriation, maintenance of infrastructure, emergency humanitarian aid and mid-term strategy for the improvement of citizens' livelihood.
