About
AID for Relief and Change, a work commissioned by the GAFCON Primates, has begun a partnership with the Episcopal Church of Sudan.
Anglican Christians are about a third of the population of Southern Sudan. They have survived a determined onslaught by the overwhelmingly Muslim north to subdue them. After twenty one years of war, which killed millions of southerners, an agreement was reached three years ago giving Southern Sudan autonomy. In 2011 there will be a referendum on the issue of independence or union between north and south. There is a desperate need for development on every front in the next few years and advocacy on behalf of Southern Sudan.
During the coming year the ECS has identified the following priorities for work in partnership with AID.
a) Children's education
b) Micro-finance with the Mothers Union
c) Vocational training in hospitality and building trades.
