About Us

Support Women Aid (SWA) is a National women-led organization transforming the lives of women and girls affected by violence in South Sudan through delivering an integrated, survivor-centered approach that shifts them from vulnerability to resilience.  SWA was founded in 2018 to address deep-seated gender inequalities, widespread sexual violence, extreme protection risks, and acute hunger driven by conflict spillover, climate shocks, and to empower women to lead community development in a context characterized by conflict and traditional, often restrictive, social norms in South Sudan. SWA is currently working to address the worsening humanitarian crisis in South Sudan, where approximately 5 million people need assistance, and roughly 104 people are displaced every hour due to conflict, extreme poverty, and acute food insecurity. Over 65% experience gender-based violence (GBV), with high rates of child marriage, lack of education, and limited healthcare, creating one of the lowest gender equality levels globally.  SWA is legally registered as a non-profit organization with the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (RRC)of the Republic of South Sudan (Registration Number:1728).
