The life of a refugee as a widow

Viki is 40 years old and a widow. The Lord blessed her with 4 children. Her husband was serving in the army and later was found drunk and dead in his home in 2017. After that they weren’t able to afford to live in Juba, the capitol of South Sudan, they moved to Nimule which is located in the Southern part of the country. She bought food in Loa and brought it to the market in Juba in order to sell it. On the way home, the truck that she was driving in turned over and several passengers were injured while others were killed. Viki was badly injured, and her right arm needed to be amputated.

The Civil war reached the Loa area in July 2017. Viki and her children fled to the border of Uganda and were hiding in the woods. They crossed the White Nile on a boat and were left without food and water and they were forced to drink dirty flowing water. Now they are living in a refugee camp in Bidi bidi, Uganda. Here she turned her heart to the Lord and joined the church. She is trying to earn money, so she could buy food for her children. Viki is thankful for God for His mercy and asks for prayers for her family.
