CARE Canada

Published purpose

March 2013 - Ongoing inter-ethnic, militia and cross-border conflicts in South Sudan continue to create significant displacement, resulting in increased pressure on water and sanitation infrastructure, as well as the health infrastructure throughout the country. With Canada's support, CARE Canada will provide emergency healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene to 75,500 returnees, internally displaced persons, and host communities in Rubkhona County, Unity State, South Sudan. Project activities will focus on: supporting three primary health centres through outpatient services; distributing essential drugs and supplies; providing training on health education and supervising home visits; establishing 20 new clean water points and rehabilitating 30 existing water points; constructing emergency latrines for newly displaced; and training 200 people on health and hygiene education.
