Karak Miakol

FOUNDER & PRESIDENT

Karak Miakol Denyok strives to build a positive and sustainable future for women and children in Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda and throughout Africa. Over her 3 decade career as a human rights defender, she went from being a South Sudanese child of war in a refugee camp, to traveling the world raising millions of dollars, to receiving awards and fellowships, to starting a foundation of her own that has saved the lives of, empowered and educated thousands of women and their children. It’s a life she could never have dreamed of when she was a child in a refugee camp, but she is just getting started. She continues to use her voice to share her own personal stories of hardship, hope and opportunity. She speaks about the real, uncomfortable, inspiring and intense stories of her sisters in South Sudan.
