ABOUT CARD SOUTH SUDAN<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We are a leading national humanitarian and development organization dedicated to fighting ill health, poverty, injustice and reducing human suffering.We place special focus on working alongside poor women because equipped with knowledge and resources,\u00a0<\/span>we work in areas that will together contribute in a synergistic manner to improving the lives of our communities.<\/span><\/p>\n

women have the power to help families and entire communities improve their health and escape poverty. As health is define as \u201ca state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease.\u201d, CARD endeavours to use this holistic approach to cater for the many needs of our people. As a result, result<\/p>\n

CARD was legally registered by the ministry of Justice and Humanitarian Affairs in 2011 making it a legal entity allowed to operate in the Republic of South Sudan. CARD is one of the nation\u2019s leading national health and relief organizations, committed to improve access to health and livelihood for the most vulnerable members of our communities. Founded in 2011 to provide much needed health services and relief to survivors of the civil war, CARD quickly became a tested and trusted vehicle for the compassion and generosity thousands.<\/p>\n

CARD works in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Education, Agriculture, Livestock and various Clusters such as the Food Security and Livelihoods, NFI\/Shelter, Protection, WASH, Education and Health. CARD works closely with relevant line ministries and counterpart agencies and clusters via information sharing and frequent consultations and guidance support as needed. These different bodies are involved in information sharing and technical planning stages in any of our projects.<\/p>\n

Community Empowerment and Commitment<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We believe that no one can serve a community meaningfully without their involvement. We also believe that communities are inherently resilient, even in the midst of conflicts and disaster and, as such, require some support to enable them take charge of their lives. As a result, our interventions are not \u2018for communities\u2019 but \u2018with the communities\u2019, to support them regain custody of their health and wellbeing. We involve the communities we serve very early in the life of project cycle, and all the way to its conclusion to ensure that all interventions leave a lasting impact.<\/p>\n
