Kimberley Crossman Instagram – 📍 Nearly 1.5 million people have fled violence and hunger in South Sudan in recent years and sought refuge in northern Uganda.
World Vision ambassador, @kimcrossman , met Elizabeth a South Sudanese refugee who was forced to flee violence in her country with her eight children. When rebels attacked her town, she made the heartbreaking decision to flee with her children, leaving her elderly mother behind. Carrying one child on her back, another on her shoulders, with her other children walking, Elizabeth embarked on a treacherous five-day journey to safety.
Elizabeth arrived in Uganda and was given a small plot land where she built her own home from mud and thatched a roof. On the wall inside her hut she showed Kim a picture she had drawn, on it was a home, a cow and a tree for her family to sit under. It is her vision board for the future.
Women like Elizabeth are working to rebuild their lives and provide a future for their children in the toughest of circumstances. “The mental strength of women like Elizabeth is so inspiring” reflects Kim.
