From football pitches to protection centres, every WPESS programme gives divided communities a concrete reason to work side by side again.
In March 2025, WPESS organized a two-day football tournament in Obbo Payam, Magwi County, giving women a supportive environment to take part and helping neighboring communities rebuild trust.
Partners: GIZ South Sudan, the Community-Driven Rural Development (CDRD) project, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Magwi County Local Football Association.
