About Winejok
Winejok is a town in Warrap State, South Sudan, in the broad savanna belt between Wau and the Bahr el Ghazal river system. Around 300,000 people live in a community whose economy depends on cattle herding by Dinka pastoralists, subsistence sorghum and millet cultivation, and seasonal trade rather than formal industry. Dinka and Arabic are the dominant local languages, with English the country's official language used in government and schools where they operate. Infrastructure is minimal: most movement is by unpaved road, with the nearest reliable air access at Wau airport. Power and water supply are largely off-grid. Winejok is realistically only a destination for humanitarian workers, missionaries, or government postings.
