Root of Generations
This morning, we visited Gorom Refugee Camp in Juba for our weekly progress monitoring, and the stories we heard painted a vivid picture of the Emergency Pooled Fund's impact. One woman shared her experience with us, her voice filled with gratitude. After the food ration cuts were announced, she explained, I was devastated. I couldn't provide for my children. Basic needs were beyond my reach. Her future, like so many other Sudanese women displaced by conflict, felt bleak.
But then, the Cohere Emergency Pooled Fund arrived. This fund, she continued, "has been a lifeline. It's helped me and other Sudanese women reclaim a sense of hope." Now, she can provide balanced meals for her children and even save a little through her Village Savings and Loan Association (VSLA). Thank you so much to Cohere and Root of Generations, she said, her eyes sparkling.
This small grant has had a gradual but profound impact on these vulnerable women in Gorom. It's a testament to the power of targeted aid and a reminder that even small acts of generosity can rebuild lives shattered by conflict. The Emergency Pooled Fund isn't just a program; it's a story of resilience, hope, and the unwavering spirit of women rebuilding their futures.
