About EcoRise
A woman- and youth-led grassroots organization building a peaceful, resilient, and inclusive South Sudan.
Driving transformative change through climate resilience, digital inclusion, and lasting peace.
EcoRise South Sudan (ERSS) is a woman- and youth-led grassroots organization founded in June 2024 and formally registered with the Republic of South Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (RRC Registration No. 5927).
We believe that South Sudan's profound challenges—climate-induced disasters, cyclical conflict, gender inequality, and systemic exclusion—are deeply intertwined. Sustainable peace cannot be achieved in isolation; it requires an integrated, community-driven response that empowers women and youth to build resilience across all fronts.
