About South Sudanese Women Building Association

South Sudanese Women Building Association (SSWBA) is a Non-governmental, Non-profit making, Women-centered RLO engaged in relief/humanitarian initiatives to support refugee women, youth and immigrants residing in and outside refugee settlements, as well as beyond. Through various demand-driven & human-cantered programs, our interventions focus on a Participatory Integrated Development (PICD) approach through harnessing IDEAS, INNOVATION, and INVESTMENT and leaving no one behind so that the women become self-reliant and are able to meet their basic needs and contribute positively towards a sustainable society. SSWBA invests in the capacity of the Women and Youths thereby building community capacity through a self-help approach Mara Suja that focuses on attitude/mindset change, self-reliance (doing it ourselves), visioning, strategic action planning, fulfillment strategies & action towards an all-inclusive relief & development process that the communities fully contribute to (re-engineer), own and lead so that solutions are desirable, technically feasible & economically viable. The principle of Mara Suja is that the communities who face the different challenges know about them better and are best placed to generate effective solutions and address their own challenges. Mara Suja further believes that the communities have the resources, ideas & the power to transform except have constraints & vulnerabilities hence Mara Suja unlocks community potentials and facilitates the change process by addressing the constraints & vulnerabilities. Mara Suja has created a comprehensive vision strategy that builds on Economic Empowerment, Gender & Human rights interventions, Women's leadership, Peaceful Co-existence, Functional Adult Literacy, energy and environment, and Advocacy. Our target group among others includes; Women, Girls, OVC, Children, Youth, and Most at Risk Populations (MAP).
