About
South Sudanese Health Matters Inc. (SSHMI) is a non-government, non-political and non-profit organisation set up to improve the lives of the people of Lou-Ariik village – and the surrounding communities – via health initiatives.
The formation of this NGO was inspired and driven by our CEO Mawien Ariik.
Our Work
In early 2023 SSHMI successfully supplied sanitary hygiene kits to girls and women in Lou-Ariik. Community health workers provided training in hygiene practices that is already showing benefit with less day’s absence from school by these girls during menstruation. This project will continue to be implemented each year with the aim to improve health, increase confidence and further reduce school absenteeism.
SSHMI is now progressing with its project to build and maintain a primary health care clinic within Lou Ariik.
These initiatives will make a real difference with meaningful and long-term outcomes for the community.
