Children in southern Sudan deserve far
more than a short life of suffering.

A child’s suffering will end today in southern Sudan.

The real tragedy is that the suffering is ending because the child is dying.

Here is what makes this situation even more heartbreaking and deplorable - the disease robbing her of life is completely curable!

The problem is, even the most basic medical supplies and equipment are not available in or near her community. As a result, she, and so many other children just like her, will die - all for want of a few medical supplies.

This heartbreaking situation is repeating itself far too often in the rural areas of Yambio, Rumbek, and Juba, southern Sudan.

People, especially the children and elderly, are suffering and dying because they do not have access to even the most basic medical supplies and equipment.

A generous gift from you of $50, $75, or $100 if you can, will place desperately needed medical supplies and equipment in the hands of rural health care workers.

Because of your compassion, a severely dehydrated child, losing her battle with dysentery, will get the life-saving supplies and medical care she needs. She will not die. Your gift will have saved her!

You will save the life of a father who is rapidly losing his fight against an infection that is ravaging his work-worn body. It started with a simple injury, received while working in his small farm field, but it became life threatening because basic medical supplies were not available to treat the injury initially.

A mother and her newborn baby will both survive because of you. In this part of the world, there is little help available if something goes wrong during pregnancy or childbirth. In southern Sudan, one in every seven women dies as a result of causes related to childbirth, and nearly 14 percent of children die before the age of five. You can change this!

A gift of $50, $75, or even $100 if you can will work miracles among the poorest families of Yambio, Rumbek, and Juba.

Your gift will help us reach as many as 20,000 people who are at constant risk of dying because medical supplies and equipment are not readily available in their communities.
