A Canadian Presence in South Sudan

As former child soldiers build bricks for the Canada School, Canadian Aid for South Sudan enters a new era.

Objectives:

  • Build schools
  • Rehabilitate former child soldiers
  • Promote full gender equality and opportunity
  • Support refugees and returnees
  • Promote health, sanitation and clean water

Even as South Sudan begins a new chapter in history following it's independence day on July 9, 2011, the challenges faced by it's people are immense. CASS was present at the signing of the peace agreement in January, 2005, and again as international observers during the historic vote for independence in January, 2011. CASS is now prepared to fulfill its mandate in the independent Republic of South Sudan.  The opportunity for Canadians to make a difference is now.
