With UKAid, the #THRIVE Project is helping women in Bentiu, 🇸🇸 to grow their savings and invest in their businesses through Village Savings and Loans Associations. Achieving economic independence, one savings group at a time. #FinancialInclusion #VSLA #UKAid

Given pressing needs in South Sudan,🇬🇧announces £103m ($139m) to help the 🇸🇸 people face the humanitarian, conflict & climate crises; access healthcare; & get kids into school. Peace & better governance will make this aid go further, which only the 🇸🇸 Government can provide.

We are making sure every penny of the UK's aid budget works harder to tackle humanitarian, health and climate crises, with economic development underpinning it all.

At this market in Rubkona, 🇸🇸, new freezers mean that traders can save their fish overnight, sell fresh produce to their communities, and expand their businesses. UKAid is building markets and opportunities for the private sector to #THRIVE

Thirty years ago, genocide took the lives of over 8,000 men and boys in Srebrenica. More than 20,000 women and children were forced from their homes. Today, we remember those brutally massacred and stand with the survivors of those horrific events.
