♦ Largest state in South Sudan with greatest number of

orphans.

♦ Jonglei was most affected since the Founder of SPLA/M,

Father of the new nation, is from here. Men followed him into

the bush, lost their lives and left orphans behind.

♦ Orphans lack financial support to pay school fees.

♦ Dropout rate is higher among orphans leading to a

population of street kids and early marriage among girls.

♦ Hungry and lack clothing. Many can be found naked.

♦ Health problems due to poor nutrition, poor housing and

poor health seeking behavior.

An assessment includes the following:

♦ Name, age, gender, and previous education.

♦ The orphan status will be verified by acquiring

information regarding when each parent passed away.

♦ Specifically where in Jonglei each applicant comes

from (i.e. region, clan, sub-clan, tribe, family).

♦ The applicant's vision of how they will use their

education, specifically a plan in which they commit to

give back to their community.
