      <image:caption>To expand the geographical reach of the Achiek Clinic, mobile Community Healthcare Workers travel from village to village to do wellness pregnancy check-ups, identify any newly ill patients, administer vaccinations, and provide basic hygiene training.  Recently, Lwala Community Health Alliance partnered with TSS to provide ongoing training to both CHWs and senior staff from the Achiek Clinic.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Updates - Better Health for the Community</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the most basic ways we can empower the people of South Sudan with good health is by making clean water available. And according to UNICEF, 59% of the population in South Sudan lacks access to clean water. To survive, families are often forced to drink dirty ground water, putting them at risk of waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, dysentery, and enteric fever, which remain the leading causes of death among children in South Sudan.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Updates - Faith in Action: Pastoral Training &amp;amp; Women's Empowerment in South Sudan - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Transform South Sudan (TSS) conducts both intensive and shorter, topical pastoral training sessions to ground pastors in their faith.  This is to equip them to teach but also to combat syncretism, the accidental blending of Christianity with other traditionally held beliefs (such as Animism, ancestral worship, etc.) that are so prevalent in South Sudan. Recently, a three-week training program was conducted.  The training focused on strengthening students in biblical knowledge, mission, evangelism, sociology, homiletics, and pastoral ministry.  The program also included a practical outreach mission to neighboring communities, enabling students to apply classroom teaching through evangelism and community engagement.  Thirty students participated in the training and in a three-day outreach ministry.  To date, TSS has trained over 600 pastors and church leaders who are now serving in their communities.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Updates - Faith in Action: Pastoral Training &amp;amp; Women's Empowerment in South Sudan - Since its inception TSS has fostered economic skills and spiritual growth through regular meetings where the Bible, business skills, and the value of savings are taught to women’s groups.</image:title>
      <image:caption>After women complete the introductory training, they are given loans to establish their businesses.  Typical businesses are tailoring or growing and selling agricultural products in their local markets.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Thank you to all who have helped us get closer to building a new maternity ward for the Achiek Clinic. As we explained in our previous communication, currently, mothers and newborns rest in the same dormitory-style room as infectious patients. A new maternity ward would allow us to separate mothers and their newborns from sick patients, and the surgical center will enable us to perform emergency procedures such as Caesarean sections.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Updates - Thank you for your generosity! We’re so close to helping mothers and their newborns have a healthier outcome! - So far, we have collected $80,186 out of the $85,000 needed to build the wing. We only need$4,814 to start building!</image:title>

      <image:title>Updates - Because of you, many women in South Sudan will be celebrating a very Happy Mother’s Day! - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sunday, May 10 is Mother’s Day here in the United States.  In South Sudan, it is celebrated on the first Monday in July.  Mother’s Day is a relatively new but very significant observance in South Sudan, serving as a day to honor the sacrifices and resilience of mothers who are considered the "bedrock" of the family.  But motherhood is also very dangerous in South Sudan.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66df224736bf34705d5af413/ec9d3015-ded7-4716-964b-19cca8afc8c4/DSC04703.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Updates - Because of you, many women in South Sudan will be celebrating a very Happy Mother’s Day! - Did you know South Sudan also has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world?</image:title>
      <image:caption>According to the World Population Review, at 1,223 maternal deathsfor every 100,000 births.  That means that more women lose their lives here because of complications related to childbearing than anywhere else on the planet. For newborns, the risk is equally severe, with 40 deaths per 1,000 live births and a stillbirth rate of 26 per 1,000. For a disproportionate many, this Mother’s Day in South Sudan evokes more emotions of loss and grief than of joy and celebration... but why?</image:caption>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Updates - Because of you, many women in South Sudan will be celebrating a very Happy Mother’s Day! - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>However, because of your generous donations, we were able to open the Achiek Clinic in November 2022 in the heart of an underserved region.  This facility in Lietnhom is a beacon of light for the whole community but especially for expectant mothers who are now receiving obstetric and newborn care.  The introduction of “skilled delivery” has taken away the fear of giving birth and we celebrate that since our inception, not a single mother who has delivered at our clinic has lost her life! Here’s a short, pertinent video from the clinic’s doctor.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Updates - Because of you, many women in South Sudan will be celebrating a very Happy Mother’s Day! - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This has been a great first step, but more needs to be done.  Currently, births are taking place and newborns and moms are resting and recovering across the hallway from sick patients, some with infectious diseases.  Newborns are developing fevers and mothers are getting sick because they are in the same building as the rest of the patients who have come to the clinic because of illness and disease. A separate maternity ward is desperately needed to keep newborns away from sick patients.  The maternity ward we would like to build will also be equipped with a very simple surgical theater that would allow us to properly address complicated birth procedures such as Caesarians which are currently beyond our facility’s capabilities.  By U. S. standards, the cost to build this new facility is very low at $85,000.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Updates - The Centrality of the Gospel - Many of you are familiar with much of the life-changing work that is done by the Transform South Sudan.  You may be aware that:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Lives are saved and health is being restored at the Achiek Clinic. More students than ever before are being educated at Linda Primary and Hope Secondary Schools. Growing numbers of leaders are identified at Hope Secondary School and are offered scholarships to higher education. Women are improving the standard of living of their families through business training and microfinance loans. But did you know that the Gospel is not only the motivation for all we do, but that it also undergirds and weaves through every area of our ministry?</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Us - Our Mission</image:title>
      <image:caption>Transform South Sudan exists to provide real hope and a future for the people of South Sudan. We operate the only medical clinic within a 100-mile radius. We also run both primary and secondary schools and provide post-secondary scholarships to promising students. Additionally, we empower the population through micro-finance and savings groups. We equip the population through pastoral training, trauma healing training, and peace-building skills. All this is done with the ultimate goal of creating sustainability for the population through gospel-centered transformation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Us - Our History</image:title>
      <image:caption>James Baak, one of the 20,000 “lost boys” displaced from Sudan in 1987, walked over a thousand miles to an Ethiopian refugee camp, where he survived hunger, dehydration, and exhaustion. In the camp, James heard the Gospel and committed his life to following the teaching of Jesus Christ while also receiving a high school education. Although James was offered a “golden ticket” to live in America, he turned it down to go back to his village and share the gift of the Gospel and an education with them.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Us - Then, in 2006…</image:title>
      <image:caption>James founded Transform South Sudan (formerly Solidarity Ministries Africa for Reconciliation and Development) to address the material, spiritual, and social needs of his people through partnerships with local churches and the international community.</image:caption>
