Who we are
Built by South Sudanese professionals to serve communities.
AEF was formed by professionals who came together in response to the suffering of vulnerable and underserved people. We advocate with survivors of gender-based violence, women and girls, children, youth, and people living with HIV/AIDS.
Our work connects immediate protection and essential services with the knowledge, participation, and opportunity communities need to shape their future.
