South Sudan faces a staggering health crisis. Disease, malnutrition, and limited access to healthcare threaten the lives of millions, particularly mothers and children. Wonderland Development Agency (WDA) is committed to combating these challenges, offering essential clinical care, preventative services, and nutrition interventions to save lives and build healthier communities.
The Dire Situation:
Preventable diseases like malaria, pneumonia, and diarrhea are major causes of child mortality.
Low vaccination rates leave countless vulnerable to preventable illness.
Maternal healthcare is critically limited, leading to tragically high maternal mortality rates.
Malnutrition remains widespread, affecting millions of children and pregnant or lactating mothers.
WDA's Approach:
- Clinical Care: We provide lifesaving treatment, addressing illness directly.
- Maternal and Child Health: Prioritizing the health of mothers and children through reproductive services, prenatal support, and child healthcare.
- Immunization: Partnering with the Ministry of Health to expand vaccination programs and protect the most vulnerable .
- Nutrition: Combatting malnutrition with treatment for severe cases and providing education to prevent future malnutrition crises.
- Community-Driven Solutions: Working with communities to improve overall health, create referral systems, and empower them to fight malnutrition and disease.
Impact: Creating a Safer South Sudan
WDA’s Protection program plays a vital role in driving transformative change within South Sudan. Here’s how:
- Increased safety and well-being: Communities we serve report feeling safer and more aware of resources available to combat violence.
- Shifting attitudes: Our educational outreach and behavior change programs foster a positive shift toward greater gender equality and respect for human rights.
- Stronger Support Systems: Survivors of GBV find crucial support networks and resources to aid in their healing.
- Empowered Communities: Communities become active participants in creating safer environments for women, men, and children.
- Policy Influence: Our advocacy work elevates voices of survivors and brings pressure for legal reforms and greater accountability to protect vulnerable populations.
The Wonderland Development Agency envisions a South Sudan where everyone, regardless of gender or circumstance, feels safe and protected. Through our Protection program, we work relentlessly alongside communities to make this vision a reality, leading to a more just and peaceful society for all.
The Wonderland Development Agency believes everyone deserves access to essential healthcare. Through our clinics, outreach programs, and community partnerships, we strive to build a healthier South Sudan where children can thrive and mothers receive the vital care they need. We work to foster resilience and self-reliance in the communities we serve, fighting the preventable illnesses that have plagued the nation for far too long.
