Formed in 2011, Friends of Ibba Girls' School is a UK charity set up in response to a specific request from community leaders in Ibba County, South Sudan, to help them build and develop a girls’ residential school. Through generous support, we have raised enough funds to put in sufficient infrastructure and buildings, and to cover initial staffing and running costs: the school opened for its first intake of forty girls in March 2014, and now has over 200 girl students living and learning on its green campus of over 100 acres. We are committed to a long-term working partnership with the Ibba Girls' Boarding School (IGBS) Trustees and Governors, to develop and sustain the school.
