About Us

Our Background

Educare is a South Sudan National NGO founded by a group of profound secondary school teachers during the Covid-19 pandemic. It was as a result of teachers reaching out learners and help them continue learning at home. Educare South is implementing e-learning program in South Sudan by providing learners with an innovative and inclusive learning through various learning approaches.

Educare South Sudan provides supplementary learning to all learners through online and offline approach. The e-learning here is not to replace teachers in schools but to supplement what they teach to the learners. In 2023, the offline modal of e-learning was piloted and presented promising results where students exceptionally improved compared to days before the introduction of e-learning offline modal.

Educare South Sudan has developed an App that students use to access content both online and offline. Here, in the face of any situational circumstances, students can still learn at anytime in any place as they shall be moving with their classroom in their pockets.

How We Work

Educare South Sudan operates through a dynamic, collaborative model that integrates digital learning development, strategic partnerships and grassroots community engagement to drive equitable access to quality education across South Sudan. Our approach is informed by real classroom challenges, aligned with national education goals and designed for impact at scale.

1. Locally-Led Content Creation

Our programs are designed and implemented by experienced South Sudanese educators — Educare Master Teachers who deeply understand the classroom, the South Sudan Competency-Based Curriculum, curriculum-aligned digital content and the learner. Their expertise ensures pedagogical relevance and curriculum fidelity, so that learning materials resonate with students and consistently meet national standards.

2. Dual-Track Teacher Engagement

We empower teachers in two distinct but connected ways:

  • Content Creators: Trained to produce multimedia instructional lesson content.

  • Facilitators: Equipped to integrate e-learning into their classrooms through blended learning practices and flipped classroom models.

3. Hybrid Infrastructure: Online & Offline Access

We operate through Junub Academy — our mobile and web-based platform - which operates across connectivity levels — offering online access where possible through zero rating and offline delivery through solar-powered devices, and school-based hubs platforms. This ensures that learners in remote, conflict-affected or low-connectivity areas are never left behind.

4. Strategic Government Collaboration

We align with the Ministry of General Education and Instruction and State Ministries through signed MoUs, policy engagement and technical collaboration hence aligning our programs with the General Education's Strategic Plan (2023-2027). We also work closely with the Ministry of ICT and Postal Services for telecom and infrastructure support.

5. Collaborative & Cross-Sectoral Engagement

We partner with universities, telecom operators, development agencies, and community organizations to co-create solutions, mobilize resources, and scale impact. Our work is collaborative by design—because transformation requires shared effort.

6.School-Based & Community-Rooted Implementation

Educare works hand-in-hand with local schools, PTAs, and community leaders to embed e-learning into everyday learning environments; ensuring ownership, sustainability and cultural fit. Our Parent for Child Device (PCD) initiative mobilizes families to support digital access, while our partnerships with schools ensure contextual fit and local ownership.

7. Inclusive Access for All Learners

We intentionally include marginalized groups—refugees, IDPs, incarcerated learners, girls and learners with disabilities by creating flexible, low-bandwidth, multilingual and device-accessible learning experiences.

8. Policy Advocacy and System Strengthening

Educare plays an active role in shaping the future of digital learning in South Sudan through national policy advocacy, coalition participation and research partnerships. We aim to embed e-learning into long-term education systems strengthening.

9. Data-Informed & Iterative Improvement

Educare South Sudan uses real-time feedback, analytics and stakeholder input to continuously refine content, delivery and engagement strategies. Our adaptive model ensures that learning remains relevant, effective and responsive to evolving needs.

This community-powered, government-aligned and innovation-driven approach defines how we work—bringing digital education where it's needed most and ensuring no learner is left behind.
