Hello jay- Imagine your next paycheck came as a bar of soap. If your family was struggling without enough food or basic essentials, what would you do? Could you continue working for soap instead of wages? Health care workers in South Sudan have faced this dilemma. Their communities desperately need them, but the barely established government paid them in soap for months! Now health workers may be forced to abandon their posts out of sheer desperation. And clinics may close. Will you give generously to help keep these clinics open?

Right: A child suffering from diarrhea gets the medicines and fluids she needs to recover.)
Without these clinics, about 160,000 people will have no place to turn. Mothers will have nowhere to go when their child is sick. No one to relieve their suffering. 
(Health workers like Patrick were paid in only soap for 1 year.) Thank you so much for your past support of our programs around the world. It’s inspiring that you choose to assist people who have suffered through the unimaginable. But I need your help again…to ensure families in dire need can access medical care. Will you give the gift of health and donate today? Thanks for your generosity and support. Sincerely, -Daniel Daniel Wordsworth
