Nyanagun Tut Kuol works as a midwife in South Sudan - under difficult circumstances. In the December issue of our magazine "begegnen", she tells us what gives the young South Sudanese woman strength again.
In the second poorest country in the world, the health situation for mothers and children is catastrophic. The work of midwives can make a big difference in South Sudan: Check-ups, assisted births and health care for babies help to reduce the mortality rate of mothers and children. The school supported by Mission 21 in Juba trains midwives who bring their expertise to the communities and thus save lives. One of these midwives is Nyanagun Tut Kuol. The young woman has been working in her profession for five years and tells her story in the current issue.
Also in this issue: Theology professor Tobias Brandner reports on his work as a chaplain in Hong Kong's maximum security prison: "No man is just his deed," he explains in an interview.
The magazine "encounter" is Mission 21's donor magazine and is published four times a year. The magazine contains information and stories about Mission 21's projects and the people behind them.
