“What would a healthier society look like? For us at Yo’ Care, a healthier society is one in which all members including children, women, and men, have access to quality and affordable comprehensive health services, good nutrition, safe and clean water, and sanitation, in addition to good hygiene practices.”

PRESIDENT’S FOREWORD TO THE ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Now in our thirteen years, our work at Yo’ Care South Sudan has supported the building of healthier societies in South Sudan. What would a healthier society look like? For us at Yo’ Care, a healthier society is one in which all members, including children, women, and men, have access to quality and affordable, comprehensive health services, good nutrition, safe and clean water, and sanitation, in addition to good hygiene practices. Unhealthy societies lead to infectious and chronic diseases, such as malaria, enteric fevers, cancers, diabetes, and heart disease. Yo’ Care continued to tackle many of these issues head-on in 2022. This report highlights some of our work in these areas. The Annual Report development is an essential core function of the Management Committee (MC). It is an opportunity to gauge the progress made and to provide a basis for forward-looking and planning toward the realization of our vision of “Nurturing Healthier Societies.”
In 2022, Yo’ Care South Sudan works to nurture healthier societies in South Sudan through a nexus of humanitarian-development strategy. Ever since Yo’ Care South Sudan’s establishment 13 years ago, we have always been an evolving organization. We launched a three-year strategic plan (2020 – 2023) to be even more relevant, efficient, and effective, and continue to ensure that South Sudan is a country where children, women, at-risk men, key populations, and other vulnerable groups have access to universal access to basic health, nutrition, water, and sanitation services and practiced good hygiene. Our three-year strategic plan focuses on contextually relevant four programmatic areas.
