Caritas Archdiocese of Juba has officially re-open its office since the Church based organization stopped its activities in 2021.
Speaking during the official opening of Caritas Archdiocese, Archbishop Stephen Ameyu Martin calls on partners to review the activities which Caritas Archdiocese of Juba were doing.
“There are two main pillars for the Church, one is the pastoral wing and social wing, in this social wing, many of the human problems are in, and I would like to invite you all our partners to review today about what we are doing in Juba or in South Sudan because some of these elements or objectives that the Caritas Archdiocese of Juba is taking on its solder are almost the same elsewhere with any NGOs.”
The metropolitan Archbishop of Juba Ameyu says, one of the most important objectives the Church and partners working on it is elevating poverty.
Ameyu adds that, without the help of social wing in the society, the poverty can’t be elevated from people.
He encourages Caritas Archdiocese and its partners to work together in order to elevate the human suffering in Juba and South Sudan at large.

“We are here this morning to reconstitute or for re-open Caritas Archdiocese of Juba again after a very long time of not operating in the midst of the looming humanitarian crisis affecting our people in the Country. For us it has been a setback all along such a very important part of the church remaining an-operational although we keep serving our people through the parishes.”
Bishop Laku states that Caritas Archdiocese caries a lot of responsibility of people which needs more support specially the influx of returnees and refugees from Sudan.
