“After completing my S4 in 2019, I had little hope of continuing my education and decided to get married. My turning point came when I heard about the SALT opportunity sponsoring female teachers to study Primary Education at Yei Teachers Training College. I committed myself fully to meeting the requirements, and I was selected. I have since completed my certificate in Primary Education and am now pursuing a diploma in the same field at YTTC. This opportunity changed my life and restored my hope for the future.”

OUR STORY
SALT is a South Sudanese social services organization that seeks to bring the hope, healing and transformation that only Christ can bring, in practical and tangible ways.
In 2011, a group of South Sudanese Christ-followers passionate for the kingdom of heaven to come to their beloved nation formed Joint Effort for Development (JED), a South Sudanese community-based organization dedicated to extending the fullness of the kingdom on earth. They have since worked tirelessly to bring needed programs and services to their communities.
Joint Effort for Development (JED) started as a not-for-profit Community-Based Organization (CBO) in 2011. It became a fully-fledged South Sudanese NGO in 2014, and in 2019 changed its name to Special Action for Life Transformation (SALT), registered under the New South Sudan NGOs Act 2003.
WHERE WE SERVE
Yei and Morobo Counties, South Sudan
As South Sudan goes through the period of recovery and reconstruction, many areas in the country still face numerous challenges, with significant levels of poverty limiting productive capacity. Many who wish to grow and develop lack the opportunities; instead they are confronted with the stress and shame of being unable to provide for their needs. It is here that SALT operates, working within its community to provide the necessary stimuli for sustainable growth and development. We focus on the vulnerable and hard-hit Yei and Morobo counties of Central Equatoria state.
