In January, conflict in South Sudan forced over 63,000 people into Uganda. Thousands of refugees are entering the country each week, and experts warn that the country is facing ethnically-charged genocide. Women and children are particularly at risk.

Despite losing homes and loved ones, refugees show the true resiliency of the human spirit. Thank you for sharing health – and showing compassion for our global neighbors in need.

Safe, accessible healthcare and medicines are critical to keeping families healthy.

Your support trains volunteers, staff and sends medicine and medical supplies.

Refugees wait to be seen at a medical clinic. As violence pushes more refugees into Uganda, need for healthcare grows.

Without care – malaria treatment, vaccinations, etc. – children are particularly at risk of preventable disease or death. Thank you for making a difference!
