On assignment for Mercy Corps 2022 2014, Uganda. Portrait of a young South Sudanese girl in Kiryandongo Refugee settlement. Around this time were my initial years as a commissioned photographer and I was assigned a week-long job to accompany a local NGO to the refugee settlement. This settlement, originally established in 1990 had been re-opened because of the South Sudan emergency, and the NGO I was working with was providing psycho-social support to the individuals who were dealing with the traumatic events that happened in their homeland. At that time, the country was engulfed in a civil war between forces of the government and opposition forces. The president (Kiir) accused his former deputy Riek Machar and ten others of attempting a coup détat.Like most of the fleeing families, parents are looking for a safer place for their children during such chaotic times. Between October 2014 and June 2018, the UN found that 6,500 children were recruited by both sides of the war and were subjected to many forms of abuse. © Jjumba Martin 2014 003-Jjumba-Martin-Photographer-Uganda 005-Jjumba-Martin-Photographer-Uganda Dental Health Without Borders (Tandsundhed Uden Grænser ) / (TUG) is a Danish NGO aiming to improve life possibilities for children in some of the world’s poorest countries through better dental health.Toothaches make it hard to focus on school, and however simple it may sound, it’s the reality for many children in some of the poorest countries of the world.By spreading the Danish model for school dental care to the world’s “poorest” countries, TUG is looking at establishing sustainable dental development projects to ensure happier and healthier children.TUG teaches school children how to take care of their teeth through daily toothbrushing programs in school.
