South Sudan
In war-torn South Sudan, the leprosy-affected village of Tonj is located near a clinic run by the Salesian Order. Members of the St. Lazarus-Fonds visited the village several times and implemented extensive aid projects here. These included:
Construction of a community centre for village meetings, school classes, and worship services
Expansion of residential houses with rain roofs and construction of toilets for the residents
Building of two wells for the village community
Due to the poor security situation in South Sudan, further projects in Tonj could not be continued after 2013.
