Since conflict started in Sudan, over 1.2 million people have crossed to South Sudan for safety. Recent flooding and violence in the region has intensified an already dire situation.

The rainy season only exacerbates the risks of malnutrition and disease outbreaks.

Catastrophic floods affecting over 927,000 people have compounded the crisis, overwhelming the already fragile healthcare system. Women and girls in particular are bearing the brunt as their lives are transformed into a daily struggle for survival.

Overcrowded healthcare facilities are running low on supplies and essential medicines, with tens of thousands — including an estimated 22,400 pregnant women — unable to access urgent medical care. UNFPA is on the ground, offering critical and lifesaving health services, yet resources are dwindling fast.

You can be there for the women, girls, and pregnant mothers in need, too. Make a donation to deliver lifesaving care in the form of skilled midwives, mobile clinics, and the resources medical staff need to care for women and girls in need.

The reality for women, girls, and their families in South Sudan is one filled with hunger and fear.

With desperation and flood waters rising, mothers are forced to make the impossible choice to flee, risking everything for their family’s safety and survival. Some parents, faced with deepening hunger, are marrying off their young daughters in exchange for cows, food, or cash.

Climate-related disasters are destroying the essential health infrastructure that women and girls rely on.

As one of the last remaining lifelines for these women and girls, doctors and nurses at our temporary clinics — supported by generous individuals like you — operate tirelessly, providing free health services around the clock.

These clinics are crucial for maternal and newborn care and help restore dignity and hope in these challenging times. Your support is urgently needed to keep this lifeline open.

A donation today can make a world of difference, ensuring that women and girls continue to receive the care and protection they desperately need.

Thank you for being there for women and girls in need.
