News from the Displacement Camp in South Sudan
By Jacob Atem | Project Leader
![]()
Dear Friends,
In 2020, massive flooding displaced thousands of families in South Sudan. Although the waters have receded, ongoing violence has made it unsafe for many to return home, and families remain in the displacement camp. This is why continued access to medical care and education is so critical for the 40,000 people living there.
So far this year, our clinic has had the privilege of delivering 87 babies. Each week, hundreds of individuals come seeking care—receiving malaria testing and treatment, vaccinations, and support for a range of other health concerns. All services are provided free of charge.
Your support makes this possible. Thank you for your generous donation, which allows us to continue serving these families with dignity and care.
With gratitude,
Jacob

Funding Shortages Result in Staff Reductions
By Jacob | Project Leader

Funding cuts have affected many humanitarian organizations and ours has felt the result of this lack of funding. Friends were very generous for our end of the year campaign, but we still found it necessary to cut five of our staff at the clinic in the displacement camp. Despite this our staff continue to see hundreds of patients each week. Last year they saw over 5,000 malaria cases, thousands of children were vaccinated and over 400 births occurred. One mother returned bringing her year old son. He had been born very prematurely last year in the camp. She wanted to thank the staff for their good care in saving her son's life.
This is how hope is being restored to the families in the displacement camp. It is because of donors like you that this quality of care is able to be provided. Thank you for being a blessing to these families who depend on their American friends to keep the clinic open.
Wishing you a wonderful start to a new year.
Kind regards,
Jacob

The School in the Displacement Camp
By Jacob Atem | Project Leader

Dear friends,
In 2022 we built a school in the displacement camp. Many of the children had not been to school for years due to the floods destroying their schools and the Covid pandemic halted schools from opening. When we started we had 50 students and 3 teachers. Today we have 235 students and 6 teachers. The photo shows one of the classrooms that the parents and teachers built. During the rainy season, which lasts for several months, the rain and winds will destroy it. We are trying to find the funds to build more permanent classrooms. At one time Mangalla had 13 primary schools. Ours is the only one still open. There are thousands of children in the camp who want to go to school, but we do not have the ability to do this.
We are thankful for your support in helping us provide a clinic for the medical needs of the families. We do not charge for these services. We have hundreds each week that visit the clinic. Your support is making a difference in the lives of these people who are dealing with so many challenges.
Sincerely and with joy,
Jacob
