About us

Who we are

Kikiji National Orphanage Centre-South Sudan is a registered non-political and non-profit making organization with reaching out to abandoned and orphaned children living in the streets of South Sudan.

The effects of long-lasting wars and turmoil in the country of South Sudan gave rise to the current political situation which led to many lives being taken and many children living in the streets with no guidance, care, and love. 

As an organization, we have experienced the same hardship but through Christ we have managed to prevail and live on to tell our stories. As survivors our duty lies in saving these children from the cycle of generational trauma by giving them a second chance in life to achieve their dream and strive for a better future.

Together we can raise healthy minds and healthy smiles

Our Values
every child deserves a loving centre, a family and parents or caretakers who cater to the child’s physical and emotional well-being as well as their development.

We believe that children belong in centers and families and not in institutions. Among our core values are love, care, compassion, and philanthropy.

Our Motivations
The idea of Kikiji National Orphanage Centre-South Sudan was conceived by our own life experiences of hardship and growing as orphan/street children, but through Christ we have managed to prevail and live on to tell our stories.

As survivors our duty lies in saving these children from the cycle of generational trauma by giving them a second chance in life to achieve their dream and strive for a better future. It is our conviction that children should grow up fully integrated into the community. A Children’ or children’s centre should be a temporary place of transition to resettlement into permanent centres. Currently, community resettlement services for orphans and other vulnerable children are non-existent in South Sudan.

Our board is composed of members who share the same vision and passion for the well-being of children. From children, we derive joy. We are convinced that it is our duty to give that same joy back to children that need it.
