Caritas South Sudan has made humanitarian appeal for 2018 to support the needy, says Director for the Catholic Organization for Development and Peace in the Diocese of Tombura-Yambio.
Fr John Ngbapia discloses that twenty percent of the one point seven million US dollars is realized, Anisa Radio reports.
He says some dioceses including Torit, Rumbek and Yei have already benefited.
‘Other dioceses that have not yet received the emergency tools and seeds including Tombura-Yambio Catholic Diocese will have to follow’, the director explains.
Fr Ngbapia adds that during their three-day meeting in Juba, they realized the need to strengthen various dioceses to mobilize funds for all sisterly Caritas to support many people.
The fund Caritas South Sudan has got now is not enough to cover the needs of every individual diocese in this country, he reveals.
The director describes the meeting as very important because they discussed how to address their challenges together.
The priest was speaking to Anisa Radio on Monday after participating in Caritas South Sudan meeting in Juba last week.
