Cataract operations at Martha Eye Clinic, Yei        In March 2025, doctors from Juba were in Yei for a week of cataract surgery. They treated a total of 315 patients, including 101 cataract operations.  “I can now see my daughter,” said one elderly patient.  Thank you to the church congregation in Bristol UK who funded this amazing cataract camp. Another camp is planned for 2026.

Youth training for Diocese of Yei ends successfully.     Three weeks of discipleship training for church youth leaders ended in Yei last month.  Over 100 young people were taught the basics of what it means to be a follower of Jesus and how to lead their youth group.  The week was hosted by the Diocese of Yei and facilitated by the Rev. Mbaraza Emmanuel.

New emphasis on teacher training

The Brickworks has responded to a request from the Diocese of Yei to train more teachers. In 2025, we are supporting a total of 20 teachers at the Yei Teacher Training College, working towards either a Certificate of Diploma of Education.
