‘Buagyi is a small town located in the Western Equatoria State of South Sudan, the youngest country in the world. South Sudan experiences one of the highest rates of maternal mortality, one that is five times that of other developing countries, based on data from the World Bank. The town currently has a small, under-resourced health facility that is unable to provide adequate care to its residents. 

This donation will support construction of a new maternity center, where women from ‘Buagyi and the surrounding communities can safely deliver their babies, and children can receive quality care. The new Buagyi Maternity Centre will be a part of a Rural Hospital, and have a team made up of doctors, trained nurse- midwives, clinical officers, and medical assistants, providing quality maternal and child health services. 

'Buagyi Maternity Center is a project of the North America Centenary Committee (NACC), a South Sudanese non-profit established by the diaspora living in North America. NACC was founded in 2020 to bring socio-economic development to the people of Greater Mundri, South Sudan. The project has already received a generous donation of $250,000 in medical equipment from Partners for World Health, a US non-profit organization. Your contribution will go towards shipping the equipment and construction of the new ‘Buagyi Maternal Health Center to provide better healthcare for the people of ‘Buagyi and its surrounding communities.
