Juba, October 2, 2025 — Since gaining independence in 2011, South Sudan has faced unrelenting humanitarian crises marked by conflict, disease outbreaks, food insecurity, and economic instability. Today, the situation remains severe: more than 9 million people — nearly three-quarters of the population — require humanitarian assistance to survive. Prolonged violence, climate shocks such as flooding and drought, and collapsing infrastructure continue to uproot families and erode livelihoods.

Discipline is on the ground responding to these urgent needs, delivering critical assistance to the most vulnerable populations. This includes emergency food and nutrition programs, healthcare services, logistics support, protection interventions, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) assistance. These efforts reach not only internally displaced persons and refugees but also host communities and returnees striving to rebuild their lives.

The challenges remain immense. Bureaucratic restrictions, widespread insecurity, and difficult terrain continue to hinder humanitarian access. Despite these obstacles, Discipline and its partners are committed to ensuring lifesaving aid reaches those most in need. By working alongside local communities and international organizations, Discipline seeks not only to address urgent humanitarian gaps but also to promote long-term resilience and self-reliance.

South Sudan’s crisis is one of the most protracted in the world, but it is not without hope. With sustained support and global solidarity, vulnerable families can move beyond survival toward stability and a more peaceful future.
