Healing Together: Community Welcome Ceremony for Returnees

Location: Wau, Western Bahr el Ghazal

Supporting the dignified return and reintegration of survivors and abductees remains a cornerstone of our mission. This month, we facilitated a “Community Harmony Day” to welcome home 40 returnees.

The event combined cultural exchange with the establishment of a local Survivor Support Network, offering ongoing psychosocial care and peer-to-peer mentoring. By focusing on social fabric restoration rather than just physical return, we are helping communities move from trauma to healing. These networks ensure that those coming home have the emotional and social support needed to thrive once again within their families.
