In August of 2018 our team travelled to the remote village of Majok Goi in Aweil State in South Sudan. Due to heavy rains and harsh clay soil the whole area was nearly 3 feet under water. Crops were destroyed, homes were vacated, and the people were forced to spend the next months searching for higher ground and reliant on NGOs and Non-Profits to supply their next meal. In speaking with local leaders we learned that that regardless of the intensity of the flooding, the "hunger gap" was almost a yearly occurrence caused by arid soil, inefficient farming techniques, and most importantly the inability to harvest more than one crop per year due to flooding. The GEMS Development Foundation devised a plan to train 100 villagers on modernized farming techniques, including dredging a 1 mile dike around a 25 acre plot of land set aside by the paramount chief. $5 = one day of food and education for a farmer and their family $500 = 0.5 acre of land, 1 shovel, 1 pick, and food and education
