Oxfam is carrying out food distributions to over 4,000 people living on islands in the vast Sudd swamp. With most islands a long canoe ride from the mainland markets (up to nine hours for some), the people sheltering there have often been living on extremely restricted diets of fish and water lily bulbs. As well as the food distributions, we are helping people to set up vegetable gardens, where the island conditions are conducive. The communities in 10 islands have started setting up seed beds, planting and fencing gardens to protect from animals. So far, 16 people have been trained on farming techniques use of treadle pumps, which will be used for irrigating the plots. We’ve also been working with traders on the mainland to help them set up shops on the islands. Many people have been living on the islands for years after fleeing conflict in Leer County, Mayendit County and from mainland Nyal where Oxfam is based.
