The Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) has provided vital food assistance to 250 children residing at the Sheikh Dafallah Abbas Foundation in Juba, the capital of South Sudan.
The aid package included one ton each of essential food items such as sugar, maize flour, AZAM flour, rice, lentils, and beans, along with 500 liters of cooking oil.
During the handover ceremony, Turkish Ambassador to South Sudan, Metin Ergin, reaffirmed Turkey’s commitment to supporting the South Sudanese people.
Sheikh Juma Saeed Ali, the director of the Foundation, expressed deep gratitude for the timely assistance, emphasizing the critical role it plays in supporting the children, many of whom are orphans or from impoverished families.
The Sheikh Dafallah Abbas Foundation, established in 1980, provides crucial support to vulnerable individuals and families by ensuring access to education for their children.
