Lutheran Community Center and Clinic South Sudan
In November of 2016, we broke ground on a Lutheran center and clinic in Juba, in an area that lacks basic health and education services. To date, we've raised nearly half of the funds needed. The center will be a place for the community to find hope by providing classes, including computer training, and a health clinic – which will be the country’s first and only place for fistula surgery for women and girls.
