12 Hours to Double Your Impact

A generous donor has pledged to match every dollar donated during this 12-hour appeal, up to $25,000.

Give $20, and it becomes $40. Give $50, and it becomes $100.

Your donation will help fund the healthcare workers who deliver life-saving vaccinations to children in remote communities in Rumbek.

Donations of $2 or more are fully tax-deductible in Australia.

Every Child Deserves the Chance to Grow Up Healthy

For the next 12 hours, you can help children in Rumbek access essential healthcare.

In the remote communities of Maker Kuei, families face significant barriers to healthcare. Long distances, food insecurity, and limited access to medical services mean many children miss out on the care they need during the most critical years of life.

Through Mary Ward International’s partnership with Loreto Rumbek, healthcare workers travel directly to remote villages, delivering life-saving vaccinations, monitoring children’s health, providing nutrition support, and giving mothers practical advice to help their children thrive.

Vaccinations Are Only Part of the Story

Vaccines are supplied through the World Health Organization, but they still need trained healthcare workers to deliver them safely and reach the families who need them.

Every outreach visit is also an opportunity to:

  • Vaccinate children against preventable diseases
  • Screen children for malnutrition and illness
  • Provide nutrition supplements
  • Monitor children’s growth and development
  • Support mothers and carers with practical health education

Without these healthcare workers, many children miss out.
