from Subject Matter Expert · host Marty Skovlund Jr.
War pushes families to the edge—and recent aid cuts make hard choices even harder in war-ravaged regions of Africa. ChildVoice CEO Nathan Mandsager joins Subject Matter Expert to explain what aid reductions mean for girls at risk in places like Sudan, Nigeria, eastern DRC, South Sudan, and the Sahel—and what actually lowers danger on the ground. We dig into what is really happening on the ground in Africa, the realities of ration cuts, how to deliver trauma-informed care, and how a faith-forward approach can help heal, and even prevent future conflict.Who is Nathan Mandsager?
