We work in more than 10 counties around the nation drawn from 4 states . And we help every - one who is poor and disadvantaged, whatever their ethnic origin, age, or religious beliefs. Our humanitarian support work is funded by national and international grants /donations , and from internal resou rces. We are diligent and trans parent in our use of the money which is entrusted to us. We play an active part in grassroots, national, regional and internation al networks; b ecause , we can only reach our goals by sharing experience and cooperating with other organiza tions. Organization’s Core Values :
These eight important values are the building blocks that constitute ALO ’s humanitarian s upport and services value system. They ensure that our staff ,
partners, volunteers, suppliers/vendors, and anyone
who comes into contact with ALO adheres to the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality
and independence , which are fundamental to humanitarian action . Loving Our Neighbors
We see people suffering in so many parts of our newly-born nation, and this moves us deeply, so that we have a heartfelt desire to help and support those who lack the basic necessities of life. Human Dignity
We believe that everyone is a child of God, born with the same rights as everyone else. We work to support those whose rights are abused and whose dignity is disregarded. Grassroots, National, Regional and Global Partnerships
Throughout our humanitarian interventions we seek to work together on equal terms with kindred organizations which are associated with our vision and mission. How We Work
We help people to help
themselves: ALO applies the SDGs to transform people to help themselves. In more than 15 projects in South Sudan, we have enabled poor and disadvantaged people to liberate themselves from their predicament. This involves working together closely with kindred partner grassroots, national and international organizations. What We Do
We Ensure Food Security
People suffer from hunger and mal nutrition in many parts of the world. We help small farmers produce enough healthy food on a long-term basis
We Combat Poverty
One third of the nation's population is poor, so they have little chance of a life with dignity. We help disadvantaged people increase their income
We Promote Education
Thousands of women around South Sudan are unable to read or write. We make it possible for
children, especially girls to go to and remain at school. And we conduct vocational skills training for young people and women
We Improve Public Health Care
Life-threatening diseases such as malaria and cholera are still widespread. We run public health education programs and help to improve the provision of public health services
We Send Out Volunteers and Professional Workers
Our partner organizations have their own well-trained staff. But where there happens to be a lack of specialist knowledge, ALO provides experienced South Sudan -based professionals. We also send out enthusiastic young adults who serve as volunteers, supporting the work of our partners. We Defend Women Human Rights
Human rights are trampled under- foot just about everywhere. We defend women and girls who are the victims of violence or injustice. Besides, promoting women’s leadership and political participation. We Care for the Integrity of Creation
Climate change and environmental destruction affect us all ‒ but vulnerable and marginalized women are always hit the hardest. We tackle the root causes and try to mitigate the consequences. We Support Women and Girls
Women suffer most from hunger, poverty, violence, and discrimination. We provide support and empowerment and campaign for equal rights. We provide s*x education and help to improve the provision of maternal health services. ALO Thematic Areas:

Our Approach:
A Women’s and Girls’ Rights Upfront (WGRU) which seeks to elevate women’s and girls’ well-being higher up on the international peace and security agenda both in terms of making it a priority for all actors, and by ensuring women and girls participate in peace processes that impact their future. By prioritizing the needs of women and girls, we can also begin to address the underlying factors that contribute to the vulnerability of women and girls to violence, lack of access to education, employment opportunities, healthcare, reliable supplies of food and water, shelter, and/or have experienced displacement from their families.
