Organization`s Background

South Sudan has endured decades of civil and political conflicts, leaving countless children orphaned and vulnerable. In the midst of this hardship, education and hope often become distant dreams for those who have lost their families. Recognizing this urgent need, our organization was founded to restore dignity, opportunity, and a future for orphans across the country.

The foundation’s story begins with its founder, who himself became an orphan at the tender age of three. Despite the immense challenges of growing up without parents, he was blessed with the support of compassionate well‑wishers who believed in his potential. Through their generosity, he was able to pursue his education from junior school all the way to university, proving that kindness and generosity can transform lives.

Motivated by gratitude and a deep sense of responsibility, he established this organization as a living remembrance of those who supported him. The mission is clear: to provide orphans with access to education, mentorship, and essential support so they can rise above adversity and become leaders in their communities.

Today, the organization stands as a beacon of hope in South Sudan—a country scarred by conflict but rich in resilience. By investing in orphans, we are not only honoring the legacy of compassion that shaped our founder’s life, but also building a generation equipped to heal, rebuild, and lead the nation toward peace and prosperity…

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide education, mentorship, protection, health and holistic support to orphans in South Sudan, a nation scarred by civil and political conflicts. We strive to transform loss into opportunity by ensuring that every orphan has access to quality education, emotional care, and the tools to build a brighter future. Guided by gratitude and inspired by the compassion once shown to our founder, we are committed to breaking cycles of poverty and despair, and nurturing resilient leaders who will rebuild and heal their communities

Vision Statement

We envision a South Sudan where no orphan is left behind, where every child—regardless of their circumstances—has the chance to learn, grow, and thrive. Our vision is to create a generation of empowered orphans who rise as leaders, innovators, and peacemakers, transforming the legacy of war into a legacy of hope, unity, and prosperity.

WHAT WE DO

EDUCATION

The core of supporting orphans is to empower them through education so that they become in independent citizens with potential of supporting other vulnerable groups in the country. It is a right of every child to be given education. We as SESSO recognized education as a permanent solution to South Sudan.

FOOD SECURITY AND LIVELIHOOD

South Sudan as a war torn country has a very big numbers of orphans and so as an organization (SESSO), we decided to work together with South Sudanese communities in improving the living conditions of orphans as a team. It won’t be sustainable to confine orphans in orphanages in a country

CHILD PROTECTION

The life struggle that orphans undergo always make them fall victims of child abuse as they struggle to get food, shelter, education, and health products or services. We do and we shall always continue to advocates for the right of orphans and every child through community leaders.

HEALTH

Every human being needs a sounding health status to function and so health is a very important aspect of human live. We therefore strive to improve and maintain the health of orphans, vulnerable groups and communities in our areas of operations

FOUNDER'S INSPIRATION

From the pain of losing my parents at the age of three was born a vision of hope. What could have been a life defined by despair was transformed through the compassion of remarkable well‑wishers—Eng. Erin Knesek, Jason Knesek, Jacob Guot, and their Sunday School Bible Study Class in Texas. Their love and generosity carried me from junior school to university through high school, proving that kindness can change destinies.

Out of deep gratitude, I founded SESSO in South Sudan to honor those who lifted me when I could not stand, and to extend that same hand to orphans walking the path I once walked. SESSO is not just an organization—it is a living testimony that love heals, education empowers, and hope transforms lives.

Every child we support is a reminder that no orphan should ever feel alone, and that together we can turn pain into purpose. SESSO is both a remembrance of the sacrifices made for me and a promise to every orphan that they too can rise, learn, and dream.

As I honor those who enable me to be the person I am today, I pray that SESSO continue to shine as a sanctuary of learning, a pillar of strength, and a legacy of gratitude—proving that even from the hardest beginnings, greatness can rise.

“ From loss to hope, from hope to purpose—this is our journey, and together we will light the path for generations to come.“
