“Anglican Aid has entered a partnership with the Episcopal Church of South Sudan and Sudan (ECSS&S) to support a project  to assist communities prepare for an expected famine during the summer of 2014/15.

The expected famine is due to the inability of displaced people to plant crops.

While emergency food security will be provided by other agencies, the Church in South Sudan is assisting through a Peace Dividends Project to assist people to plant crops to provide longer term food security.…

Anglican Aid [is] suggesting people forgo a meal out and contribute the money to support South Sudan.”
