RMF is the only NGO working in an opposition controlled area of South Sudan. 20,000 people are at high risk of contracting cholera, especially those living along the swamps of the River Nile in areas with no sanitary or health infrastructure. The magnitude of this health disaster's impact on the general population of Ayod is challenging to quantify, as the exact number of deaths related to the cholera outbreak are difficult to verify due to the nomadic nature of the populations of concern.
RMF is currently implementing UNHCR funded health programs in the region, and have teams mobilised within the affected areas.
Additional funding is required to extend 24/7 medical treatment, and where possible, bring clean water to communities. Community education and mobilization outreaches will assist in the identification of cases requiring treatment, while providing essential prevention messages.
This program under the Global Giving umbrella remains unfunded.
