Happy Global Handwashing Day!

Today, we join hands to celebrate the transformative power of handwashing, especially in South Sudan, where access to clean water and sanitation is a daily challenge for many. Clean hands can help prevent the spread of diseases and protect vulnerable communities.

This year's theme, "Help in South Sudan," reminds us of the urgent need to promote good hygiene practices in areas most affected by health crises. By washing our hands with soap and water at key moments—before meals, after using the restroom, and when caring for others—we can safeguard our health and that of our neighbors.

We urge everyone to support initiatives that improve access to clean water and sanitation in South Sudan. Let’s work together to ensure every child and adult understands the importance of handwashing as a fundamental step toward a healthier future.

Join us in spreading awareness about handwashing and its critical role in preventing disease. Together, we can make a difference and bring hope to communities in South Sudan!

Remember, a little soap and water can go a long way. Let’s wash our hands and spread health, not germs!

We're thrilled to unveil our comprehensive Integration Strategy for Lakes State (2023-2025), which unites our strengths in WASH, FSL, and Nutrition services to sustainably improve health outcomes.

Our innovative approach includes:
- Integrated nutrition services at 22 facilities and 2 stabilisation centres
- Mother-to-Mother Support Groups
- Access to clean water and sanitation through solar motorized water yards
- Skill-building in nutrition and climate-smart practices to be replicated back home.

Looking ahead, we're excited to expand kitchen gardens, create market linkages, and introduce post-harvest technologies. Eventually, we intend to establish seedling production centres in these locations.

Join us in solidarity to support the victims in Lebanon. Over 1 million people are in need of shelter, food and basic life support. 🆘❗️

🆘 Die Not im ist groß: 1 Million Menschen sind auf der Flucht

Help-Landesdirektor vom Libanon Elie Khoury hat selbst Vertriebene aus dem Süden privat bei sich aufgenommen.

„Die Menschen teilen ihre Häuser, ihr Brot und sie teilen auch ihre Ängste und Sorgen“, sagt Khoury. Doch obwohl die Solidarität in der Bevölkerung groß ist, bleibt die Situation prekär. Viele Personen, die aus ihrem Zuhause fliehen mussten, haben keinen Platz zum Schlafen, da die Notunterkünfte überlastet sind.

➡️ Help engagiert sich in Bekaa und Saida im Libanon und stattet Gemeinschaftsunterkünfte mit dringend benötigten Materialien wie Matratzen und Kissen aus.

Um weiterhin die notwendige Hilfe leisten zu können, sind wir auf Spenden angewiesen. Mit nur 20€ kannst du einer vertriebenen Person einen Schlafplatz mit Matratze und Kissen sichern. Den Spendenlink findest du hier: https://www.help-ev.de/spenden/?fb_item_id=30725 💛

Thrilled to share a significant milestone at Help in South Sudan, where 272 local handpump mechanics from both Lakes and Jonglei States have been trained to ensure the sustainability of newly drilled boreholes and the upkeep of older ones in the region. This initiative that is covering Awerial, Yirol East, Yirol West, Ayod and Twic East Counties will not only provide essential water access but also empower our communities to maintain and repair these vital water sources independently. Together, we are creating a sustainable impact and fostering self-reliance in water management. Help - Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe
