Who are we

Special Olympics South Sudan (SOSS) was established in late 2018,
A national organization under Special Olympics International (SOI) which is based in the United States of America. SOSS main office is based in Juba but will further extend to other parts of the country.
The program provides Olympics-type sports for Persons with Intellectual Disability (ID) to be empowered through Sports. They are also able to interact with communities, develop physical strength, happiness and the spirit of joy.

According to research by Special Olympics International, Persons with Intellectual Disability account for 2% of the total population (at least) in each country so we aim to ensure that we are able to reach each and every one of them through the program.
Currently, SOSS has about 20 athletes with various forms/types of Intellectual Disability (ID) who participate in different sports. There is no limit to the number of athletes to be recruited so we aim to continuing recruiting more Special Olympics athletes across the country. FreePik and WorldVectorLogo websites.
