Benefitting South Sudan Community Restoration Program and Neighborhood House
About KLC South Sudan Community Restoration Program
The South Sudan Community Restoration Program is a ministry of Kent Lutheran Church, a 501c(3) non-profit organization. Our motivations are simple. Together we have the privilege to make global friendships and support the restoration of villages after the destruction of war. We will trust God to lead us to participate in the work already begun through our brothers and sisters in Christ in South Sudan. The work of SSCRP has focused on two villages in South Sudan's Upper Nile state. It is our intent to continue assisting community development with these places and other communities in Longechuk County. Our next venture will be directed toward medical needs. Supplying medications is the first tangible effort. Helping to build a clinic will follow, along with seeking ways to offer competent staffing. We also hope to build a basic primary school facility and enhance education with supplies. The government of South Sudan has promised that they will provide a teacher for each village with a school. We may also assist by working with the community to provide the teacher with a home.

About our 2014 Partner: Neighborhood House
Since 1906, Neighborhood House has helped diverse communities of people with limited resources in Seattle and King County attain their goals for self-sufficiency, financial independence, health and community building. Because families and individuals living in poverty struggle with a variety of challenges, Neighborhood House focuses on providing wraparound services in the areas of early learning, youth development, employment, adult education, social services, health, financial empowerment and housing stability. With over 200 staff speaking more than 40 languages they are able to provide first language support and culturally relevant programming to low-income families and individuals, with a special focus on immigrants and refugees. To reach people where they live, work, and learn, Neighborhood House services are located in affordable housing developments, public schools, WorkSource centers, and community colleges.
