Tens of thousands of southern Sudanese women and children have been enslaved and carried to northern Sudan since 1983. CSI has liberated many and returned them to their homeland in southern Sudan. What happens to them next? After years of slavery and suffering, those freed from slavery by Christian Solidarity International are returning with no home and no food. They are facing extreme famine which will last until the next harvest in August and September. We cannot free them and forget about them!

CSI workers pass out millet. Millet contains protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, and is the most important staple food in Africa. A 12-kilo portion is enough to feed a family for a week.

Christian Solidarity International is working to provide every returning family with a special start-up sack containing the essentials to begin a new life.

The start-up SACK OF HOPE contains:

Tarpaulin to offer shelter from rain and sun which can also be used as a groundsheet
Blanket to keep the whole family warm on cold nights in the bush
Mosquito net for protection against insects, snakes, and scorpions
Cooking pan for boiling water and preparing millet gruel
Plastic canister to carry 5 liters of water
Hand-held sickle for cultivating food and building a home
Fishing hooks

Returning slaves also receive 12 kilos of millet, just enough to feed a family of five for one week.

Please help give the former slaves of Sudan hope for a better life. Give $50 today to provide a SACK OF HOPE.
