St. Jude Children’s Home
is a residence for orphaned, abandoned, and disabled children, located in the Gulu Region of Northern Uganda. Their mission is to provide a loving environment where children have access to comprehensive care including education, health services as well as emotional and spiritual support.

In July 2009, The Mercy Project partnered to create the St. Jude Health Agreement which included establishing a permanent first aid clinic. The Mercy Project currently funds an on-site nurse, a nurse’s assistant, medical supplies, and emergency coverage; while also assisting in healthcare seminars.

The South Sudan Nurses and Midwives Association (SSNAMA) is the national professional association for nurses and midwives in South Sudan.

The Mercy Project and the Canadian Association of Midwives are partnering with the South Sudanese Association of Midwives to support the association in strengthening its service to members and the community.

In 2019, SSNAMA will be launching an income generating initiative to empower the SSNAMA chapters to raise funds to support their activities and members. We are fundraising $5,000 to support the small businesses (providing the initial inputs) of the SSNAMA Income Generating Project.
