Francisco-fact: What are the Socio-Economics of Ezo?
Ezo is located in a remote part of South Sudan, near the border with the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Poverty is endemic — the annual income is about $1,000 per person.
As a result, churches provide social services in addition to their religious function. Over the past 5 years, St. Francis has sent money to the Diocese of Ezo to help feed schoolchildren, provide clean drinking water, install solar panels on the diocesan offices, purchase medicine for a health clinic, and support internally displaced persons.
