Supermodel Teaches Girls in Struggling South Sudan
Add to Lightbox DownloadJuly 13, 2017 - Juba, Jubek, South Sudan - Girls listen to supermodel Ajah Kiir, the South Sudanese 2016 Miss World representative, teaching them how to use hygiene pads in the Gumbo Basic Primary School on the outskirts of the South Sudanese capital of Juba. Common practices are as exotic as digging a hole and sitting there for four days to using dung of cows, often with severe health consequences. as fistula and severe infections. Kiir aims to reach girls in all the public schools in Juba, many of which have not been funded in several years in a country where civil war and deep corruption continues, draining budgets, displacing millions and leaving millions more on the edge of starvation.
