Past Shipments:

  • 2010.02.12 – Send Second Shipment to S. Sudan
  • 2009.12.04 – Send Medicines to Remote Villages in Sudan

A medical missions team will be taking pharmaceuticals into remote villages in Sudan where they will be distributed by the local Angelican Catholic Church of Sudan to church and community members in remote areas of Aweil South County, Aweil West County and Aweil East County.

The church community lives in various remote locations across the Aweil County. The church cares for hundreds of orphaned children. There is a shortage of accessible health care with minimal availability of services for those who lack financial resources or transportation.
