The South Sudanese mothers are more than 90 times more likely to die in childbirth than those in Kenya, a health workshop in Juba reported.
“For every woman who dies in childbirth, there are 100 others in rural communities who suffer from serious and often mutilating or debilitating complication, “said South Sudan health ministry”
With the ongoing war in a country, the South Sudan ministry of health estimates that about 300,000 mothers die every year in South Sudan as a result of complications due to childbirth and lack of birthing kits.
War is a thief. It steals children’s hopes, dreams, and even their future. It makes them feel worthless and powerless to change their circumstances in exile. But you can change this. That’s why HopeOfiriha exists: to empower you to release children from illiteracy. Our Child Sponsorship Program is proven to help refugee children overcome extreme poverty.
By sponsoring a refugee child, you will join more 3000 donors who believe children should be released from poverty in Education. Start your sponsorship story today. Here: Children In Need Of Sponsorship
At this second reporting:
You supplied the clinic with three maternity pads, two sutures, and four boxes cotton wool.
We are unable to deliver the life-saving supplies to the village health post because of worsening insecurity in South Sudan. Now the war is fully-fledged in the entire country. Temporarily, the activity of this need had been suspended as Hope Ofiriha will not risk sending the staff in Magwi County. We are hopeful peace will return soon.
In the coming months, we will post up a new field update report, so you get to know the impact of your contributions and the new security development from the ground.
