Our mission

The Save Yar Campaign is a coalition of student and community organizations committed to ending child abductions in South Sudan and returning abducted children to their families. We support only nonviolent means to this end. We are guided by international human rights standards, in particular those set forth in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. We oppose racial and ethnic stereotyping, and we support reconciliation between communities as a cornerstone of security and the protection of human rights in South Sudan. Recognizing that child abductions are motivated in part by economic and social conditions, we are committed to researching and working to address these issues.
