SEA completed a critical assessment on rising birth deformities in Mayendit County, Unity State.

Findings were shared with health authorities and community leaders to support advocacy for stronger environmental protections and improved maternal health services.

SEA launched an environment protection mainstreaming campaign across Unity and Upper Nile States.

Participants committed to sharing best practices within their villages and coordinating with SEA on future conservation efforts.

In Ulang County, SEA delivered hands-on training on agroforestry techniques to local farmers.

Participants learned how to plant teak, bamboo, and sandalwood alongside traditional crops, and how to integrate livestock grazing into wooded lands in a way that regenerates soil health.

This approach improves food security, diversifies income, and builds long-term climate resilience for communities facing increasingly erratic rainfall.

SEA's anti-poaching awareness campaign reached over 1,200 community members across Unity State.

Community feedback suggests a measurable shift in attitudes, with local leaders now proactively reporting suspected poaching activity to authorities.

Following severe flooding in Upper Nile State, SEA distributed emergency WASH kits to over 400 households.

Each kit included water purification tablets, soap, jerrycans, and hygiene education materials designed to reduce the risk of waterborne disease.

The response was coordinated with local authorities and humanitarian partners to ensure the most vulnerable families — including those with young children and persons with disabilities — were prioritized.
