At the most basic level, women and children’s well-being depends on their health. But families facing challenges like extreme poverty – especially those without transportation in remote communities, where the nearest hospital or clinic can be many miles away – often lack access to health care. Families may struggle to provide  nutritious food for their children or find water that’s safe to drink. And the stress of day-to-day survival may leave little time for children and families to tend to attend to their physical, mental and emotional health.

Millions of children in South Sudan are vulnerable to malnutrition, infection and disease, as well as mental health struggles that can hinder their healthy development. The good news? Most of these health challenges are preventable and treatable. WOPCA works to connect children and their families to the things they need to stay healthy at every stage of their lives, from conception to adulthood.
