HCA graduation 27th November 2009
The Brickworks is very committed to training quality health staff. There is a huge need in South Sudan to train health staff and The Brickworks has made this one of its priorities.
Brickworks is currently responsible for training Charles Agele, who is studying for a degree in health management, and Blate Moses, studying for a degree in nursing. Both these are at International Health Sciences University, Kampala. It is also funding Jackson Yossa on a three year Clinical Officer training course in Congo.

“I am so grateful to The Brickworks for giving me this amazing opportunity for study,” said Charles Agele, former Martha PHCC administrator and health care assistant and former refugee in Congo.
Poppy Spens, who managed the Martha PHCC until March 2011 said: “During my few years in South Sudan, we were able to find and fund training courses for more than 50 Sudanese young people who wanted to develop their skills in health care. This number includes doctors, clinical officers, nurses, midwives, laboratory technicians and health care assistants”.

Our next goal
It costs £3000 each year to pay the fees and living costs for a student at the International Health Sciences University, Kampala. The Brickworks hopes to sponsor more students if funds are forthcoming.
