Gua Africa Education And Scholarship Project, Kenya & South Sudan
Project Background
The CAP Network is pleased to be engaging with Gua Africa to expand our investment in education in the region.
Founded in 2006 by South Sudanese former child soldier turned musician and activist Emmanuel Jal, Gua Africa has grown from an informal organization supporting a handful of young South Sudanese to the international organization it is today. Gua Africa works with individuals, families and communities to help them overcome the effects of poverty created by war or natural disaster, through education. Gua believes that giving everyone access to education will lead to an increase in individuals generating their own income and a more stable society. Gua Africa projects combine scholarship programs, teaching in refugee camps and feeding programs, all underpinned by a philosophy of peace education and a dedication to community income generation.
The CAP Network’s engagement will support the expansion of scholarships and education programs for refugees.
