Humanitarian Response and Emergency Preparedness | EAC South Sudan

EAC delivers rapid humanitarian response in South Sudan, providing life-saving education, protection, and livelihood support during crises.

In times of crisis, when conflict, flooding, or displacement disrupt lives and learning, Education Action in Crisis (EAC) stands on the frontline.
Our Humanitarian Response and Emergency Preparedness Program ensures that children, women, and vulnerable families receive timely, coordinated, and life-saving support.

We deliver education in emergencies, child protection, and livelihoods recovery, while also strengthening local capacities for early warning, preparedness, and resilience.
Rooted in research and partnership, our approach bridges the gap between emergency relief and long-term recovery — ensuring that no one is left behind when disaster strikes.
