Portrait of Naomi, 16, climate advocate in South Sudan

Naomi is a 16-year-old child advocate in South Sudan, born in 2010 just before the country gained independence. Growing up alongside the world’s youngest nation, she describes her life as shaped by both progress and ongoing challenges—from moments of hope, such as new schools and strong community resilience, to continued fears around safety and instability. Drawing on her parents’ experiences of conflict and displacement before independence, Naomi understands that for many children, daily life remains difficult. Naomi says independence should be about more than celebration—it should mean real progress for children, especially the right to a safe and peaceful childhood. She calls on leaders to listen to young people and include them in decision-making. Despite the challenges, she expresses a “working optimism,” believing in the potential of her generation, which inspires her to keep advocating until every child in South Sudan can learn, grow, and dream freely.
