In South Sudan, years of civil conflict have left much of the population without access to the food they need to live healthy lives. Rising food prices and loss of income due to COVID-19 are only increasing this deficit. Presbyterian World Service & Development is responding through Canadian Foodgrains Bank to provide 1,150 families with food assistance that will meet their nutritional needs. Additionally, families will receive farming supplies and fishing equipment so that, when the season is right for growing and fishing, they will have access to alternative sources of nutrition. #presbyterian #dailyprayer #prayforthem #church
