Boosting Food security through fruit trees
By John Garang Deng | Executive Director
In May 2026, we had the opportunity to visit and monitor the trees we planted during our previous tree-planting campaign. It was encouraging to see many of the trees growing well, demonstrating the positive impact of our environmental conservation efforts.
We also partnered with the South Sudanese Youth Biodiversity Network (SSYBN) and the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Environment Unit to celebrate World Environment Day on 4 June 2026. With generous support from UNMISS, we successfully planted more than 200 fruit and indigenous trees to promote biodiversity, improve livelihoods, and strengthen climate resilience in local communities.
Over the coming months, we plan to expand our tree-planting and environmental restoration activities across South Sudan. We kindly appeal to our donors and partners for continued financial and technical support to enable us to plant more trees, raise environmental awareness, and contribute to climate change mitigation and sustainable development.

Fruit tree to Grow a sustainable South Sudan
By John Garang Deng | Executive Director
![]()
In December 2025, the Roots to Fruits – Grow a Sustainable South Sudan Project received USD 180 from GlobalGiving to support tree planting activities. With these funds, 18 seedlings were secured at a cost of USD 7 per seedling. In 2024 we also recieved 140 USD under the same project and the fund has been in our Bank account becuase it can’t enough seedlings after receiving the money in December, we withdrew 140 USD and bought other 18 seedlings from it. This make the total of seedlings to be 36. After the initial procurement for seedlings, the project has a remaining bank balance of USD 68. Planting is planned for the rainy season in April 2026, and the remaining funds will be used to cover transportation of seedlings and fencing to protect the trees and ensure their survival.

Creating green home for better South Sudan
By John Garang Deng | Executive director & Project leader
We sincerely thank you for your continued support and interest in our community-based environmental initiatives. We wish to update you on the progress of our ongoing tree planting project aimed at addressing the growing impacts of climate change and extreme heat across communities in South Sudan.
Apart from 200 seedlings we bought from the funds we got through GlobalGiving platform. The Mawoudit Foundation, in partnership with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) South Sudan, has successfully secured 1200 seedlings to support our reforestation and community greening efforts in Majak Goi Village and Northern Bahr El Ghazal State-Aweil in general. These seedlings are currently available and ready for planting in targeted areas.
However, due to the lack of funding for transportation, we have been unable to deliver the seedlings to the project sites in Majak Goi village and surrounding communities. As temperatures continue to rise and heatwaves become a normal experience for local people, tree planting remains the most practical and sustainable solution to restore shade, improve soil quality, and support local livelihoods.
With your support, we can overcome the logistical challenges and ensure these seedlings reach the ground before the next planting season ends. Every contribution makes a direct difference in combating the impacts of extreme heat and promoting environmental resilience in South Sudan.
