  • Midwife Joan Laker uses a Pinard horn as she performs a prenatal examination of a woman in Nimule, South Sudan, during a mobile clinic run by Caritas of the Diocese of Torit. The mobile clinic was launched in January 2014 shortly after war broke out within South Sudan, and thousands of families arrived in this area, near the country's border with Uganda, from Bor, in Jonglei State. Yet many have not been warmly welcomed to this region of Eastern Equatoria State, where two earlier waves of displaced people in the 1980s and 1990s left relations tense between the newcomers, who are Dinka, and the largely Ma'adi residents around the city of Nimule. The Caritas mobile clinic provides medical care--often under a tree--both to displaced families as well as to poor residents of the host communities.

  • Nyanthak Arop Mahadi, a midwife, examines Nyankiir Makuac Deng in the Caritas clinic in Mading Achueng, a village in Abyei, a contested region along the border between Sudan and South Sudan. Under a 2005 peace agreement, the region was supposed to have a referendum to decide which country it would join, but the two countries have yet to agree on who can vote. In 2011, militias aligned with Khartoum drove out most of the Dinka Ngok residents, pushing them across a river into the town of Agok. Yet more than 40,000 Dinka Ngok have since returned with support from Caritas South Sudan, which has drilled wells, built houses, opened clinics and provided seeds and tools for the returnees.
