South Sudan Women United (SSWU) is a Nonprofit organization representing a small village of individuals committed to promoting peace, human rights, and humanitarian efforts to reduce human suffering. SSWU was co-founded in 2014 by Nyakan Gile and Esther Sprague shortly after the eruption of conflict in 2013 in South Sudan to support women and children impacted by the war. We have since grown into

a well-recognized organization implementing short and long-term programs. VISION STATEMENT: A world where diversity is celebrated, and all citizens enjoy freedom, peace, and justice. MISSION STATEMENT: We exist to respond to the needs of the most vulnerable and marginalized women and children especially those forced to flee their homes from human rights abuses, conflict, and climate-related disasters through advocacy, fundraising, and the delivery of services. CORE VALUES: Respect, Equity, Dignity, Integrity, and Accountability.

July 10, 2026 | Humanitarian Response Update

On July 10, 2026, South Sudan Women United (SSWU), in collaboration with LWF, represented the Protection and Non-Food Items (NFI) sectors in providing humanitarian assistance to newly arrived refugees and returnees from Sudan.

The response included the distribution of dignity kits and essential non-food items (NFIs) to vulnerable women, girls, and families affected by displacement. This joint intervention was supported by UNHCR, ACTED, and UNICEF, demonstrating the importance of coordinated humanitarian action in responding to the ongoing crisis.

SSWU remains committed to supporting communities affected by war, conflict, and displacement by delivering life-saving assistance with dignity, compassion, and hope.
