About NILECAPD
Nile Care Advocacy for Peace and Development (NILECAPD) is a Canadian and South Sudanese non-profit humanitarian and development organisation operating in Canada and South Sudan.

We include all affected individuals and communities in decision-making processes, ensuring marginalized voices are heard.
Courage
We take action in environments affected by violence and the memory of violence, advocating for a future free of violence.
Collaboration
We believe we can accomplish more when we work together and build diverse synergies with communities and partners.
Accountability
We are accountable to the communities we serve, donors, and stakeholders through transparent and responsible management.
Our Story
Founded in 2014 by Mr. Bayak Chuol Puoch in the aftermath of the 2013 civil war in South Sudan, NILECAPD emerged in response to violence that threatened lives and displaced many as refugees in neighbouring countries of Sudan, Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya and Egypt.
We received official recognition from the Government of South Sudan in December 2018 and from Alberta, Canada, in 2019. We operate across four states in South Sudan: Central Equatoria, Upper Nile, Eastern Equatoria, and Jonglei, with our Canada office based in Calgary, Alberta.
Our vision is a secure and empowered society where hopes and dignity of communities are restored for them to reach their potential. We strive to empower communities through humanitarian work, advocacy, and sustainable development for communities to realize their potential.
