Suk-Sukna Project is a bead-making project that aims to create sustainable job opportunities for South Sudanese women and girls by enhancing their knowledge and skills in designing and recreating South Sudanese traditional beads to promote unique, beautiful, and creative South Sudanese and Pan-African cultures.
‘Suk-Sukna’ is a South Sudanese Arabic phrase that loosely translates to “our beads”.
Self-sustainability is the core of Ma Mara Sakit Village. Resources from this project are used to financially facilitate and support other programs Ma Mara Sakit Village is implementing.
Ma’Mara Sakit Village is a feminist community that amplifies voices and creates platforms and opportunities to facilitate processes that contribute to the attainment of individual and collective agency using research, art, culture, and multimedia.
