Alabaster in
South Sudan
Leer, Unity State


Educating Students in Isolated Communities
In May 2023, Alabaster expanded its programming to Leer, South Sudan. Accessible only by canoe during the rainy season and devastated by the civil war, Leer is a place like no other. And yet the people of Leer embody deep faith and resilience. Children show up in droves to school, where trees serve as makeshift classrooms even in 100-degree heat and essentials like chalkboards have been destroyed by war and floods.
In partnership with local NGO UNIDOR (Universal Intervention and Development Organization), Alabaster is focused on educational capacity building for three primary schools in Leer: Leer Primary, Mary John Primary and Rubykuay Primary. These schools are in need of essential school supplies and classroom renovations to provide long-term, sustainable support for learning in the community.
