Ruthilla Digital: South Sudan’s Go-To Media Partner for humanitarian organizations

Whether it is a child gaining access to education, a mother receiving lifesaving health care, or a community finding food security after displacement—the humanitarian presence continues to make a tangible impact on the lives of communities, every single day.
