Abukloi Foundation

Principal Dr. Isaiah explains how Abukloi Secondary School in Rumbek, South Sudan not only teaches students good hygiene, but also how to manufacture and sell the soap. These are skills they will use to build a better South Sudan.

We asked Sudanese people to explain what the war is about. What emerges is clear: there is no such thing as a war about nothing. continent.substack.com/p/is-the-sud...

Excited to share that the Oxford Encyclopedia of African Women's History is out! And humbled to see my article “Women in South Sudan” included among entries written by so many African Studies scholars that I look up to 🙏🏿

"The entire nonprofit sector risks being corrupted and captured by partisan politics and polarization."

Abukloi Secondary School is more than just a place of learning. It is a beacon of hope for a better future in South Sudan.

Even a small gift can provide education for hundreds in South Sudan. Together, we can create a peaceful new nation. Abukloi.org

It would be interesting to see this study replicated in other countries that "value" child marriage and FGM.

Congratulations to the Abukloi Class of 2024! Celebrations are underway in Rumbek.

Becoming a refugee is not a choice. How we act and respond is. Abukloi Foundation was founded by a refugee. We are proof that protecting refugees can lead to a better tomorrow for all of us. [Photo of Angelo Maker surrounded by graduates of Abukloi Secondary School.]

Abukloi Foundation is proof that protecting refugees today can lead to a better tomorrow for all. Our founder, Angelo Maker, and other Lost Boys like him have returned to South Sudan to establish dozens of schools, drinking wells, health clinics, and sports. #WorldRefugeeDay #wecaninsouthsudan

Private Firms Step Into Aid Delivery In South Sudan And Gaza — Sparking Debate Over Neutrality And Control From the battered streets of Gaza to the remote wetlands of South Sudan, a new player is reshaping the global humanitarian response: private firms. As traditional aid models face growing pressure from...

This new model is increasingly attractive to governments frustrated with bureaucratic delays. . . However, many fear this shift risks turning aid into a geopolitical tool.

From Gaza to South Sudan, private firms deliver aid and face questions Fifty-kilo sacks of food hurtled out the open hatch of the cargo plane, scattering in the wind on their 1,000-foot descent to the northeastern flatlands of South Sudan.

“The South Sudan contract is one of a growing list of business opportunities for Fogbow, an outfit of about a dozen people that first distributed food last year in Gaza and Sudan.“ www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Child labour denies children their right to education, safety, and a childhood. At Abukloi, we stand for a world where every child learns, plays, and grows free from exploitation. A child's labor should come from their own ambition and for their own benefit.

“Together, we have the power — and the responsibility — to shape an Africa where justice, dignity, and human rights prevail.” ❤️💛💚

The withdrawal of the 🇺🇸 from the international scene, following the gutting of USAID, looks to become ever more visible. Sadly ironic, if confirmed, will be closure of the US mission in #SouthSudan, a country that the 🇺🇸, more than anyone, helped create. www.cnn.com/2025/04/15/p...

Teacher Christine Kakule sitting outside teaching four second year students English at Abukloi Secondary.

Abukloi created a new Department of Languages. English and Dinka are the only two languages taught for now, but soon we will offer Arabic, Kiswahili, and French to give students an advantage communicating with all people in East and North Africa and beyond! Madame Kakule will head the program.

People with disabilities have challenges in the most developed cities. In South Sudan, with next to no infrastructure, floods can cut communities off for days, which can be devastating.

Teachers sit under a mango tree listening to their principal.

Principal Dr. Isaiah Lutashobya tells Abukloi's teachers, "Teaching is a Noble Cause. But unfortunately, teachers get the lowest salaries and thus they're the poorest! But without teachers, there will be no doctors, engineers, pilots, and nurses.The world belongs to the teachers."

The value of a single tree. 🌳

Nature’s worth is often acknowledged only when it directly brings us comfort. But in truth, it does far more for humanity than many care to admit.

Truly not trying to do an advertisement here, but now is the time for donors to focus on grassroots organizations. They live in communities they serve, can adapt to changing situations quickly, and train local leaders to develop their own solutions for long term development.

At Abukloi Foundation, we are committed to advancing social justice through education, community empowerment, and sustainable development in SouthSudan. By fostering economic resilience, we strive to create a future where every individual has the opportunity to thrive.

Education is a journey that shapes the mind, nurtures the body, and enriches the spirit. At Abukloi, we believe in educating the whole person. Our commitment goes beyond textbooks—we provide quality education, foster athletic talent, offer business training, and nurture spiritual growth. #wecandoit
