The document provides information about the stark differences between living conditions in Texas compared to South Sudan. It details South Sudan's ongoing civil war, lack of infrastructure like paved roads, access to electricity, clean water and sanitation. Health outcomes are severely impacted by few hospitals, doctors and high maternal and child mortality rates. Education is also severely lacking with few permanent school structures, untrained teachers, scarce resources and low attendance rates. The Pure Joy Foundation aims to improve lives in Pure, South Sudan through programs providing clean water, healthcare, and education.
