Thampods Project: Fight "Thampods" to the End.
While South Sudan is placed 5th with the highest mortality rate in the world, the present of diseases in the country is as dangerous as civil war outcomes in the country. Many people in any places in South Sudan are not aware of wide and rapid spreading diseases like HIV/AIDs and other related diseases. Aid and Care established a project called THAMPODS which stands for Tuburclose, Heptatis or HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Polio and other related diseases. The goal of the project is to empower local clinics and other health facilities meet desperate health need. The proejct rained more than 200 community health workers(CHWs). Through the project, CHWs raise awareness and provide treatments, control and preventions information to un-awared populations in rural and urban areas. The project needs to expand to many areas that are not aware and affected byt THAMPODS.
We aim fighting THAMPODS to the end and we hope through partnership and collaboration with local, national and internation organizations, together, we will not only fight the THAMPODS to an end, but also develop healthy nation of South Sudan.

This program will promote hygiene and sanitation in the villages. Over 99 percent of people in the villages are not aware of diseases that their lives. The program will also train midwives to save pregnant mothers. In the last two years, it was confirmed that about 67 pregnant mothers died with their unborn babies in the villages.
Thampods Soldiers
This program focuses on training health teams in rural towns and send to rural villages outside the towns. Train many CHWs is one the very best way to help unaware community to become aware and informed.
