We are thankful for our donors who have helped us provide medical support to the thousands in the displacement camp in South Sudan. One way your support is being use is to provide a midwife for the women in the camp. Ayor, pictured on the right, has been terribly busy. She is one of the few midwives in the camp of 96,000. She delivers as many as 10 babies a week with only the basic supplies. She assisted with 65 deliveries from March-April.
We have three mobile clinics in the camp. Our staff work under challenging conditions and lack basic items like beds, a source of water, medicines, and nutritional food for the children. Our staff see on average about 60 patients a day and about 2,000 a month. Common diseases in the camp include malaria, respiratory tract infection and acute watery diarrhea. Clean water is an issue. Six wells have been drilled and we are trying to raise funds to drill one near our main clinic.
COVID-19 RESPONSE
We were one of four organizations in South Sudan that provided the COVID-19 vaccinations for the people in the Mangalla camp. Funding from our donors helped us to hire the three staff members needed to administer this life saving vaccine.
With your support we are helping the thousands of families who lost everything and need the essentials like food, clean water, shelter, and medical aid. Thank you for bringing them HOPE.
