Positioned in the northwestern region of Juba in South Sudan is the Mangaten Domestic Refugee camp. Mangaten has served as one of several camps providing various levels of aid and support to the crisis struck southern Sudan. The country of Sudan has faced, what seems to be unending, misfortune and pain. It is a country that has remained in violence, chronic underdevelopment and natural disaster since December 2013. Much of the refugee crisis in Sudan is the outcome of a civil war that has transpired between the pro-governmental forces of the president and the opposing anti-governmental forces of the vice president.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) considers the situation to be growing increasingly worse. With more than two million refugees, South Sudan is functioning in the largest refugee crisis on the African continent, and this number is only getting larger year after year. Other than the increase of refugees in both Syria and Afghanistan, South Sudan is considered one of the largest crises of displacement in the world.

While several organizations operate in one focused capacity, COFI exists to provide support and aid to South Sudan, and other regions of the continent where humanitarian and disaster emergencies occur.

Iron sheets and bamboo make up most of the infrastructure that is currently standing in the camp. The elementary school on site is situated in Camp 1, with six classes from preschool up to 5th grade. While the school is there, a majority of children are not in attendance due to the other demands. However, as healthcare and livelihood become more accessible, the attendance at school will improve. As the Chris Oyakhilome Foundation seeks to serve the surrounding needs, it also supports various research and development activities in the key areas of early education and learning.
