Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The Spark It Podcast, we dive into South Sudan’s deepening education crisis with Patrick Chandiga Justine, a South Sudanese refugee and founder of CECI Uganda, JobsToApply, and WANII. With over 2 million children out of school and literacy rates below 35%, the country faces a significant educational crisis. Girls are the most affected, as 3 out of 4 remain out of school, and many face early pregnancies. Patrick shares his personal story of waiting 7.5 years to continue his education, while exposing structural neglect, underfunded schools, and teachers forced to work at gunpoint. This is not just about classrooms, it’s about a nation’s future. Listen in for powerful insights and hope.
