Bringing Hope to Flood Victims in South Sudan

Dear friend,

When the floods in 2020 destroyed homes and schools, 40,000 people were relocated to the Mangalla Internally Displaced People (IDP) camp. We were the first to provide medical help to the families. We also wanted to help the children continue their education. In 2022 we built a primary school. We started with fifty students and three teachers. Today we have 208 students, three teachers, and three volunteers. Half of the students are girls.There used to be thirteen schools in the camp, but ours in the only one that remains.

We are thankful for friends who support our efforts to help these children have hope for a brighter future. The teachers work hard and tell the students that they are the future leaders of South Sudan. 

Sincerely,

Dr. Jacob Atem

Dear friends,

South Sudan faces many challenges. It is one of the most fragile countries in the world. Climate disasters including the massive floods and droughts have destroyed crops and makes the cost of food too high for most families. The result is that many eat only one meal a day.

Our medical staff does screening to identifying malnourished children. Thousands of children at these screenings are malnourished. During one of these two weeks screening, the staff provided 15,532 nutrition supplements to women and children who were malnourished.

It is friends like you who are helping us to meet this need and helping save the lives of many . Thank you for your support that encourages us as we assist the hundreds who come to our clinic in week.

Grateful for your partnership,

Jacob Atem
