Project: 2010 Sudan Trip Medical Needs

Nadus Films will be traveling to Southern Sudan this Sept. to serve the Sudanese in several areas. One of the areas we’re serving them in will be through the supply of basic medical equipment and care. So many Sudanese lack even the most common medical tools and knowledge. Lives are saved by simple acts of service such as hanging mosquito nets and serving women who need help and training in the areas of pregnancy/labor/delivery.

Breakdown of Medical Goals Needed for this Trip:

-$1000.00 worth of mosquito nets which is to be hung this coming Sept. by Nadus Films and partners. Malaria is the number one killer in Southern Sudan. Our focus will be pregnant women and children under the age of 5 since they are most likely to get malaria.
Funds raised so far: fulfilled

- $1100.00 worth of wheelchairs to be handed out during this Sept. trip by Nadus Films. There are several people who have fallen victim to Polio. Because of their condition, they are unable to walk and resort to crawling with sandals on their hands. Our desire is to begin raising money to distribute wheelchairs to those in need!
Funds raised so far: fulfilled

- $2000.00 worth of antibiotics to be distributed through our partners this coming Sept. Our desire is to purchase at least $2,000.00 in medical needs, primarily antibiotics. The absence of the necessary medicines to fight disease is far too rampant in Southern Sudan. We are confident this is a need that we can meet! Help us reach this goal and bring these supplies to Southern Sudan.
Funds raised so far: $0

Deadline: September 1 (to ensure delivery of nets, medical equipment, etc. in time for our travels in Sept.)

Other Medical Facts

With so many needs in Southern Sudan, medical needs are the most immediate and pressing, according to our community contacts and partners in Sudan. How do you encourage, equip and empower a nation when it’s people are dying of simple treatable diseases? The answer is obvious: you provide medical care!

We could send a team on a medical trip to the region that treats a fraction of the people, expends a large amount of time and money, and offers a glimmer of temporary hope to those in need. But Nadus Films desires to see sustainable change. We work to see the Southern Sudanese themselves empowered and equipped.

Through communication with our on-site partners in Sudan, we’ve realized that the absolute best way we can help is to train what few medical personnel they have within their communities, and provide them with the necessary equipment that is often not so easily available to them.

We have an urgent need for funds to help provide our partners with such basics as water wells, mosquito nets, vaccinations, antibiotics, maternity items, and much, much more. Nadus Films hand-delivers these items, and often gets to have a hand in distribution and treatment.

Partner with us and become a part of the solution in providing medical care to those suffering in Southern Sudan!
