Our Club has had a long involvement with our member Mawien Ariik’s South Sudanese Health Matters Incorporated (SSHMI). Recently, SSHMI completed a very successful menstrual hygiene project for 800 girls in remote Lou Ariik Village. The outcome was enhanced school attendance, fewer medical problems and improved attitudes to menstruation.

In recognition that Lou Ariik Village is a very poor village in one for the poorest countries in the world, SSHMI is raising funds to build a small, primary health clinic.
 
It has just launched an appeal: https://together-we-build.southsudanesehealth.org/.
 
Maternal health will be a key priority of the clinic’s work.
 
Please read it and your help will be greatly appreciated.
