What people say about us

'My name is Sebit John Thiria and am 11 years old. I live with my aunty Mrs. Abuk in Hai Langachot area in Pibor. Both my mother and my father were killed in the 2017 conflict in Boma County and my aunty brought me here to Pibor to live with her. In August this year things I almost joined an armed group due to helplessness since I felt I needed to revenge on people who killed my parents. 'I want to thank CIDO for being so kind and caring for me throughout my hard time and for finally bringing peace between me and my aunty, I am happy to be back home. I will continue to do what CIDO staff have told me, play my roles as a responsible child at home and respect other people. I will continue to attend to the Child friendly space so that I can learn more about life skills. Thanks a lot CIDO for your good program'.

"My name is Nyakuar Koang . I am 21 years old widow and a mother of three kids. My husband was killed in 2016 during the conflict. I am so delighted, CIDO capacitated me with bakery skills at the women and Girl friendly space. I learnt the skills fast enough . The knowledge I gained has enabled me to generate income by my own. I am now a proud owner of a bakery which has a profit of 9000 Pounds daily . The Biggest lesson I have learned is don't underprice your products, don't get discourage when it takes a while to see customers and keep pushing ever on the days it feels like you are going nowhere.''
