"Since late last year, we have been asking donors to fully fund child protection and education programs," said Perry Mansfield, National Director of World Vision, South Sudan.

"World Vision is child-focused and we have tried hard to protect these children but, clearly, this is not enough," said Perry Mansfield.

"What these children and others across South Sudan is for the international community to fully commit to their protection and education; a commitment that is matched in dollars, not just words" he said.
