The Worga Foundation
A global community of Mabaan learners and leaders.
We are Mabaan, an Indigenous tribe living in South Sudan and around the world.
About Us
Supporting our youth. Sharing our stories. Celebrating our culture.
Pwatcin ne tolan, thank you, for taking the time to meet the Mabaan. We are an Indigenous tribe that lives primarily in Maban County, a northeastern part of modern day South Sudan.
Mabaan live in countries around the world; many of us arrived as refugees, displaced by the civil wars in Sudan. Mabaan are resilient. Our knowledge and stories have brought us through good times and times of war, climate change, and colonization. We invite you to join our global community and learn more about what it means to be Mabaan.
What we're up to
Strengthening our community by learning together.
We believe in the Mabaan way of life. Here is how we are passing it on to the next generation:
Language Lessons
Each program consists of its own weekly theme and activities, so your child has something new to anticipate with each week.
Essential School Expenses
Supporting students to stay in school by covering essential expenses.
Storytelling
Offering Mabaan knowledge to the world by sharing our stories.
