Mission Statement
A peaceful, prosperous and democratic South Sudan in celebration of values of its cultural diversity
Objectives
The Gurtong Peace Trust Project
seeks to establish a South Sudanese Diaspora and Home coalition
for the promotion of peace and stability among South Sudanese abroad
as well as in Sudan itself. The website aims at providing information
on cultural, social, political, humanitarian and other development
issues.
The project aims to facilitate and encourage constructive
discussion on issues of concern to the people of South Sudan and
to link the members of the Diaspora and Home in a spirit of reconciliation
and sincere love for the homeland. This is in an endeavour to bridge
the gap between different cultures and allowing the Sudanese in
the Diaspora and at Home to make a significant contribution to the
search for unity and peace.
Thus, the main objectives of Gurtong Peace Project are to:
- Establish a South Sudanese Diaspora and Home coalition through
network linkage in the spirit of reconciliation and promotion
of peace and stability.
- Provide a non-partisan information platform on cultural, social,
political, humanitarian and developmental issues concerning South
Sudan.
- Facilitate and encourage dialogue through constructive discussion
on the Discussion Board on matters that concern South Sudanese
at Home and in the Diaspora.
- Encourage the growth of an information resource facility on
South Sudan through the collection of documentation in order to
support developmental activities.
- Encourage the participation of younger generations in all aspects
of nation building by using the Internet as a tool to engage their
interest.
- Create knowledge and awareness of the people living in South
Sudan to promote respect for their cultural identity.
