Omaha is home to the largest population of South Sudanese in the US. Despite their presence, many of the 15,000+ South Sudanese living in the greater Omaha area have not been able to effectively integrate into western culture. 

While some of those in our community maintain professional careers many others work 10-12 hour days at low-paying jobs which leaves little time to confront the overwhelming challenges and struggles they face. Compounded by these challenges are deep divisions between the tribes from a history of war in their home country.
