Organizational Background
Save The Nation is a women-led, multicultural South Sudanese non-profit organization founded in 2020 by concerned South Sudanese in response to the worsening living conditions across the country. Legally registered under the National Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (Reg. No. 3,218), the organization is committed to supporting communities affected by conflict, displacement, disasters and chronic poverty. We believe that after decades of conflict, South Sudanese deserve access to peace, dignity, and prosperity. Our work is rooted in community resilience, equity, and justice.
Our leadership is driven by young professionals from diverse ethnic and regional backgrounds, bringing innovation, agility, and deep community trust to our work. While youth empowerment is our strategic focus, our programs serve all vulnerable groups—women, children, returnees, and displaced populations—through inclusive, community-based approaches grounded in dignity, equity, and sustainability.
Our Mission
To reduce human suffering and enhance dignity through peacebuilding, economic empowerment, and community-led recovery initiatives —particularly women, youth, and displaced persons
Every day, our dedicated team works to translate this mission into concrete actions that improve lives and communities.
