My Start Project
Gua Africa took My Start project under its charity umbrella to facilitate creative art programming at Kakuma refugee camp. My Start is an arts project, which tackles the subject of conflict and displacement in a truly unique way; offering high quality creative education to young refugees and delivering exceptional learning resources to students in the UK.

Primary School Construction – Leer, South Sudan
Gua Africa improved the facilities at two local primary schools in Leer (the home-place of our founder Emmanuel Jal). We continued to support the schools with the provision of resources such as books, pencils and teacher’s salaries that ensure schools remain open during times of emergency.
