Mary’s mission: Empowering women and protecting children in Munuki

In Munuki Payam, Juba County, where hardship often hides behind closed doors, one woman is quietly transforming her community. As a volunteer with World Vision’s Child-Friendly Space, Mary Laku is reaching the most vulnerable—supporting women in crisis, and ensuring children are not left behind. Grounded in her own life experiences, her work is restoring dignity, strengthening families, and challenging harmful norms.
