Hope Rising South Sudan began in 2020 with a Sunday School class at Imvepi House of Prayer. A small beginning, shaped by faith and the needs of our neighbours.
Today, we are a Christian-founded, refugee-led organization supporting refugees and host communities through education, livelihoods, psychosocial care and peacebuilding. The people closest to the challenges are part of the solution.
