Dożywianie dzieci w Sudanie Południowym

The PCPM Foundation has been providing assistance in South Sudan since 2012. For several years now, thanks solely to donations from Polish benefactors, we have been organizing regular purchases and transport of therapeutic food for malnourished children, as well as supporting the Supplementary Feeding Center in Gordhim, in the northwestern part of the country.

The staff of the center we support, in addition to treating severely malnourished patients, fight local diseases. They conduct trainings for residents of nearby villages on crop cultivation and hygiene. The transport of therapeutic food reaches South Sudan always before the so-called “hunger gap,” a period of the year when food is most scarce. This means that despite hard work in the fields, mothers are unable to feed their children.The situation in South Sudan is catastrophic. The country is facing the highest levels of food insecurity and malnutrition since gaining independence more than a decade ago. Approximately 9.4 million people, or more than 70% of the population, including nearly 5 million children, are in need of humanitarian assistance.

In 2023, a shocking 52% of children seeking help at the Gordhim Supplementary Feeding Center were severely malnourished. This crisis is worsening annually.


Despite purchasing 300 cartons (45,000 servings) of therapeutic food in 2024, a mid-year resupply was urgently needed due to a surge in severely ill children.
