Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide the opportunity of an education to disadvantaged children by building sustainable primary and secondary schools throughout Southern Sudan.
Description
The Deng Ater Foundation was conceived of by Abraham Deng Ater (One of The Lost Boys of Sudan and exile from Duk-County, now a US Citizen and Graduate Student at the University of Arizona) & his good friend and associate Donald Ray Dains, during a visit to Southern Sudan and several villages within in the state of Jonglei between the 10th of May and the 6th of July 2007.
After assessing the great need and compelled to act, Mr. Ater & Mr. Dains decided to take the necessary steps to create a public non-profit 501c3 organization to fund an educational process in the most neglected rural areas of Southern Sudan.
