Small gifts, mighty impact: East Africa essentials

Malaria is a major problem in South Sudan, with our Kajo-Keji clinic treating over 500 people a month for the deadly disease. Thankfully, there is some hope for families in the region. South Sudan was one of the first countries to receive batches of a new malaria vaccine aimed at children 5 years old and under. This vaccine should help reduce the severity of the illness in infants and young children, a welcome relief for parents.

However, prevention of malaria is still incredibly important with simple mosquito nets making a huge difference. For just $10 we can supply a net to a patient at the clinic, or through our community outreach team. A small and cheap item that can drastically reduce the chances of a person becoming serverly ill or dying from this preventable disease. Any additional support you can gie towards these nets would be hugely appreciated.

Elsewhere in East Africa, we were delightd to supply a range of small gifts for the team and children at Amazing Grace School in Uganda. We have partnered with this school for several years, which provides inclusive education for refugee and ugandan children, now including those with special needs. A team from the UK visited this month bringing with them much needed feminine sanitary products for the girls at the school, also toys for the nursary and teaching & first aid supplies for the staff. These little gifts really give the staff and kids a boost and we'd love to do more of it. We can with your support. Small gifts can make a big difference. 

These kinds of items often can't be included in the grants that fund much of our East Africa work, so your gifts to this project are so important. Please continue to support this project and make a mighty impact! Thank you.
