Health Cluster

Christian Mission Aid (CMA) in conjunction with donor partners plays a key role in meeting the health and nutritional needs of thousands of people in South Sudan. The ravages of war have left the nascent nation with non-existent infrastructure, adversely affecting her people. Thousands suffer unnecessarily from treatable ailments and the children often are malnourished.

In 2019, we facilitated the much needed medical care – providing both inpatient and outpatient services through its many Primary Health Care Clinics and Health Care Units throughout the remote and underdeveloped Counties of Fangak and Nyirol. More than 35,000 children were immunized while over 13,000 were treated for malnutrition. About 6,000 women received ante-natal care and over 4,000 eye patients were treated. In total, over 227,000 people were reached with primary health care.

SMART GIRL & BOY INITIATIVE

Many Kenyan school going girls cannot afford sanitary items, and as a result, miss class every year due to their menstrual cycles. School absence lowers girls’ academic performance and self-esteem and widens gender disparities. Through Christian Mission Aid’s Smart Girl program, adolescent girls are provided with educational lectures, counselling and sanitary kits, giving them a better understanding and confidence of who they are and allowing them to stay in school. Young adolescent boys are also provided with lectures and education on pear pressure, drugs, character building, health, sexual matters and proper behavior in relationships. All education and counselling on based on Christian principles.
