Cataract operations at Martha Eye Clinic, Yei        Last year, a team of eye specialists from Juba came to 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 in Bristol that funded this camp. Another camp is planned for 2026.

Youth training for Diocese of Yei resumes.     The Brickworks is delighted to be funding another three weeks of discipleship training for church youth leaders in Yei this year. Over 100 young people will be taught the basics of what it means to be a follower of Jesus and how to lead their youth group.  The week is hosted by the Diocese of Yei and will be facilitated by the Rev. Mbaraza Emmanuel.

New emphasis on teacher training     For the third successive year, The Brickworks is making a big investment in teacher training, as most teachers at primary schools are unqualified. In 2026, we are giving scholarships to 10 teachers, working towards either a Certificate or Diploma of Education.

Safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults The Brickworks treats very seriously any abuse of children, young people or vulnerable adults.  It has adopted a zero tolerance policy.  If you know of or suspect any inappropriate behaviour by an adult in one of our projects, please report this to our independent safeguarding adviser to: mailto:safeatthebrickworks@hotmail.com .
