Kingdom Lifestyle Mission supplementary school is in operation in the capital of South Sudan, Juba, in the John Garange Blipham school. The John Garange Blipham school is a military school for children whose parents work or have worked in the army. Many of the children in attendance have lost their fathers or mothers due to the war and many are experiencing behavioural problems and emotional trauma. KLM is helping to make a positive impact in the life of these children. The volunteer teachers are students of the University of Juba and there are currently 308 children in attendance. Our volunteer teachers report that since KLM began there in 2014 “there is been a great difference in the school and in the grades of the pupils with the presence of the KLM Teachers”. Students attending our school in South Sudan have gone on to study at university in South Sudan and also abroad, with some getting a scholarship to study in the United States of America.
Charity was a 22 year old school dropout and a mother of two children. She expressed her gratitude to KLM for rekindling her desire to retrace her steps to the classroom. Charity is a mother of two children and dropped out of school in 2011 when she was in Junior High school. When KLM started a Saturday school in Elmina, Bantuma, Ghana in 2014 she attended every week and was very determined sometimes bringing one of her children along. Charity has been given a scholarship by KLM to return to full time education and complete her high school education.
I am grateful for the sacrifice KLM volunteers have made for us. I would like to thank the founder of the KLM for choosing our school. I personally appreciate their work of supporting us alongside our teachers and their impact is great and much appreciated. I am a former pupil of this school and a direct beneficiary of KLM project though they started with us toward the end of last year, their efforts have made great changes in my personal study life and have contributed to my passing in last year’s national exams. I passed very well and now I am a student of Juba commercial secondary school. I thank KLM volunteers for their work and sacrifice for me; they are like burning candle trying the make the future of others bright at the expense of their own leisure time. Thank you God bless you. Iam looking forward to doing the same when I finish my secondary school studies.

Glory be to God the creator. My name is Ester Ajan, I am a class eight pupil from Dr John Garang Bilpham Primary school. First and foremost I would like to thank KLM for the work they are doing for us in our school, I can say they are really helping us a lot, they don’t just come to help with teaching alone but to encourage us and build our lives with the word of God. Since they have been with our class we became more active and participatory. They teach us math, English language, Christian education science and social studies.
