TOCH South Sudan, successfully conducted a two-day Training of Trainers (ToT) for 20 Model Women in Gogrial West and Twic Counties, Warrap State.

The training that started on 21st April – 22nd April 2026, focused on the production of eco-friendly cooking stoves, equipping participants with practical skills to promote sustainable energy solutions and strengthen community resilience.

Participants engaged in practical sessions, including the construction of eco-friendly stoves, with a live demonstration conducted at Wunrok Payam as part of group work and testing. The stoves are designed to significantly reduce firewood consumption, minimize harmful smoke exposure, and protect the environment.

The lead trainer, Adhet Madut Guot, inspired participants with her story:

TOCH South Sudan successfully facilitated a one-day Trauma Healing, Psychosocial Support Awareness and Reconciliation Dialogue under the Kong Koc Reconciliation Pillar in Alabek Payam, Tonj North County of Warrap State.

The engagement marked a significant milestone in strengthening social cohesion within the community. Participants openly shared experiences acknowledged past grievances, and collectively expressed a renewed commitment to forgiveness, reconciliation, and peaceful coexistence.

Speaking during the dialogue, Samuel Majok Bol Wol, a representative from TOCH, emphasized the importance of trauma healing in post-conflict recovery.

We were honored to host Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) Country Director, Anne Cathrine Seland, and Head of Programme, Ayen Aleu, during their courtesy visit on Wednesday 22/04/2026 to our Women and Girls Friendly Space in Eastern Bank, Wau, Western Bahr El Ghazal State.

It was an inspiring opportunity to witness the tangible difference our collaborative efforts are making on the ground.

During the visit, the delegation engaged directly with women and girls, hearing heartfelt stories of resilience, growth, and renewed hope.

“𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝟭𝟬𝟬%. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿,” 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲, NCA Country Director.

She encouraged TOCH to continue its dedicated work with the same passion and commitment.

The impact is tangible. As a direct result of life skills training and targeted support, women participants have established small businesses, strengthened their financial independence and reduced reliance on external support. Their stories reflect not only economic empowerment but also dignity and confidence restored.

In addition, four girls have successfully enrolled in school, paid their fees, and secured school uniforms opening doors to a brighter future align to our commitment of support girl child education.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to NCA for the ongoing partnership and support that make these achievements possible. Together, we are creating sustainable change and empowering communities to thrive.
