New classrooms built at Longamere, near Yei.

Three new classrooms for the primary school were built in record time so that they were ready for start of this academic year.  The funding for the classrooms came from the UK charity African Revival, with whom The Brickworks  had previously worked to improve a school in Maridi. Work started in November and was finished by the end of January.   Find out more >

Winchester Yei Health Link makes good progress.

Thanks to some grants from THET, the Winchester Yei Health Link is quickly developing.  Staff from Winchester Hospital  visited Yei in October 2011 and the team of seven – doctors, midwives and engineers -spent a very busy two weeks in Yei, doing a great deal of teaching, advising, visiting clinics and fixing broken hospital equipment. The local staff were full of praise for the team and we hope that in 2012 there will be three more link visits, the first of which took place in January. The link is with the Martha Clinic as well as the Yei National Health Training Institute and Yei Civil Hospital Maternity Unit. Find out more >
