Welcome to New Sudan Generation!
The New Sudan Generation (NSG) was founded in San Francisco in 2000 by Mr. Silvestro Akara Bakhiet, a native of Southern Sudan. Formerly known as the Pageri Organization, New Sudan Generation operates as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in California, so that donations to New Sudan Generation are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
The mission of New Sudan Generation is to assist people in the war-ravaged Southern Sudan as they work to recover from decades of war. Our goal is to help refugees and displaced persons in rebuilding their communities. With the recently-declared Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) now in effect, there is new hope for the future of Southern Sudan.
Over the past two years NSG has sponsored 4 projects for the Sudanese:
- Funding to support the education of 744 young girls at St. Bakhita School in Narus, Southern Sudan.
- Establishment of solar-powered satellite linkages for internet access at St. Bakhita School. (The school is geographically remote and without access to libraries or other resources; the Internet allows them to connect globally.)
- A sewing co-op for Sudanese women in Nimule, Sudan.
- Trauma healing workshops in Southern Sudan and northern Uganda refugee camps.
- Well rehabilitation training
We are asking you to make a financial commitment towards helping us build the New Sudan Generation. NSG has no paid staff; all work is done by its board members.
This site will furnish you with information about our projects in Sudan, and explain how you can become involved. We hope you will join the New Sudan Generation in our effort to help the people of Southern Sudan to recover from many years of violence and civil disruption.
