With Us - Help Duk is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
based in Chicago, Illinois. It was founded by Lost Boys of
Sudan and their friends to support the lives of the people
in Southern Sudan, especially Duk Padiet in Jongule.
The southern Sudan
has been ravaged by a twenty-one year civil war that displaced
the people of Duk from their land. The people in Southern
Sudan lost everything they had during that war: they lost
their homes, their livestock, and were forced to live in refugee
camps in neighboring countries. In 2005, a peace treaty was
signed between the Government
of Sudan in the North and the SPLA/SPLM of the
South. After this, the refugees were expected to return to
their homes. But it was not easy for them to go back because
there is nothing there for them to return to. There is no
infrastructure in place.
One With Us
was formed to support the peoples of Southern Sudan in the
return home and the resettlement of orphans, widows and the
disabled of the civil war. We believe in humanity, that as
humans we can care for one another and provide for others,
no matter what one believes, what one looks like or where
one comes from. We believe in the kindness of the human heart
reaching out to others who have so little and their generosity
of spirit to help others in need.
