The Buckeye Clinic offers critical healthcare to 40,000+ Internally Displaced Persons, and many in the surrounding communities rely on the clinic for free, life-saving care as they navigate the devastating impacts of flooding, violence, and food insecurity.
We Protect the Most Vulnerable
We focus on maternal and child health and common diseases like malaria, diarrhea, and respiratory infections. A third of our patients are under five years old. Malaria testing and treatment at our clinic more than doubled in 2023 alone. On-site staff and lab facilities ensure critical care reaches those in need.
Your Support Saves Lives
With 95% of every dollar going directly to clinic operations, your generosity fuels our mission and empowers our dedicated South Sudanese staff. Just $10 can save a life, and $11,000 keeps our doors open for an entire month.

Maternal & Child Health
South Sudan has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world, and the majority of South Sudanese women deliver at home without a skilled attendant. The Buckeye Satellite Clinic provides safe delivery care with a midwife and a traditional birth attendant.
Vaccinations
75% of children in South Sudan do not receive the necessary childhood vaccines within the first-year of life. Children born at the Buckeye Satellite Clinic are immediately vaccinated and put on a schedule for their first-year vaccines.
Malaria
Almost 60% of patients served in the first eight months of opening the satellite clinic treated were for Malaria. The Buckeye Clinic purchases first line malaria medications that are not provided by the Ministry of Health.
Medication
Access to medicines is a challenge in South Sudan. The Buckeye Satellite Clinic staff must travel to pharmacies in the country’s capital, Juba, to pick up medicines from different warehouses. Those that are not available through the Ministry of Health must be purchased at private pharmacies in Juba at considerable expense.
Emergency Care
As the only clinic open 24/7, the Buckeye Satellite Clinic is always prepared to serve patients. Due to close proximity of the major highway between large cities, the clinic has often treated motorcycle and automotive accident patients.
