Understanding the Challenges
Years of conflict, displacement, and economic hardship have disrupted communities and limited educational opportunities across South Sudan. These challenges underscore the need for education that develops knowledge, encourages understanding, and prepares young people to contribute to their communities
The experiences and leadership of Rev. John Chol Daau helped inspire an educational response to these challenges.

Preparing the Next Generation in South Sudan
GSEF supports the schools and educational ministries established by Rev. John Chol Daau. Through classroom learning, Christian education, and opportunities for personal growth, these ministries seek to prepare young people for lives of leadership and service.
Since its independence in 2011, South Sudan has been one of the most fragile countries in the world. It struggles with a number of serious interrelated problems, including: civil war and ethnic tensions; food insecurity, severe poverty, and rampant disease; and a lack of infrastructure. Over 2 million South Sudanese have fled the country as refugees. Another 2 million are internally displaced.
The Good Shepherd Educational Foundation (GSEF) is uniquely positioned to address many of these concerns by providing Christian education — fostering hope, unity, and peace.
