“What would a healthier society look like? For us at Yo’ Care, a healthier society is one in which all members including children, women, and men, have access to quality and affordable comprehensive health services, good nutrition, safe and clean water, and sanitation, in addition to good hygiene practices” – Dr. Yohanis Riek, President of the Board of Trustees.
PRESIDENT’S FOREWORD TO THE ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Now in our thirteen years, our work at Yo’ Care South Sudan has supported the building of healthier societies in South Sudan. What would a healthier society look like? For us at Yo’ Care, a healthier society is one in which all members including children, women, and men, have access to quality and affordable comprehensive health services, good nutrition, safe and clean water, and sanitation, in addition to good hygiene practices. Unhealthy societies lead to infectious and chronic diseases, such as malaria, enteric fevers, cancers, diabetes, and heart disease. Yo’ Care continued to tackle many of these issues head-on in 2022. This report highlights some of our work in these areas. The Annual Report development is an essential core function of the Management Committee (MC). It is an opportunity to gauge the progress made and to provide a basis for forward-looking and planning toward the realization of our vision of “Nurturing Healthier Societies”.
The data contained in this report speaks volumes about what Yo’ Care South Sudan is capable of. Our clients bear testimony to our reach and impact in the communities we serve and would like to extend our gratitude to the Donors and Partners who supported the implementation of our projects in 2022.
South Sudan still has a long way to go to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. I, therefore, urge all stakeholders to continue supporting Yo’ Care South Sudan in ensuring the delivery of quality essential health, nutrition, and WASH services to all South Sudanese in an equitable, cost-effective, and affordable manner, to move the country closer to Universal Health Coverage.
