Leprosy continues to affect some of South Sudan’s most isolated and vulnerable communities. People living with leprosy often face severe hardship, including lack of food, medicine, and access to healthcare, while also experiencing stigma and social exclusion. Families and children are particularly vulnerable, relying on the generosity of churches and well-wishers to meet basic needs.
Amid these challenges, AAA has been a lifeline, providing medical care, welfare support, and community-based interventions. By reaching patients where they live, AAA not only treats the disease but also restores dignity, hope, and a sense of belonging, helping affected individuals reintegrate into their communities.
