South Sudan, Renk MU

Ajak John Manyang is a Programme Trainer and Coordinator with Five Talents’ partner programme in South Sudan. For the past seven years, he has trained women, men, and youth in areas such as literacy, savings and credit, trauma healing, peacebuilding, and safeguarding. His passion for seeing lives transformed through learning.

Ajak finds the greatest fulfilment in witnessing change first-hand — like recently seeing older women in Renk read and write in English for the first time after completing a literacy course. Moments like these, he says, affirm the power of persistence, partnership, and hope.
