Refuge Response
Empowering Displaced Communities for Dignity, Protection, and Sustainable Livelihoods
Hope Restoration South Sudan (HRSS) was founded by Angelina Nyajima Simon Jial, a former refugee who lived in Kakuma Refugee Camp from 1991 to 2008. Her personal experience of displacement deeply inspires HRSS’s commitment to supporting refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and returnees affected by conflict, insecurity, and natural disasters across South Sudan. Our refugee response programs aim to restore dignity, promote protection, and build resilience among displaced populations through comprehensive, community-driven interventions.
