Brief history on initiation of WCHO

In April 2018, WCHO founding members by then working with the prisons found out that Reproductive Health (RH) services were missing for prisoners through Community Based organization. They then first conceived with the idea of providing RH services to prisoners. After further discussion with members and experts, it was realized that several vulnerable groups exist in South Sudan with high unmet needs for several basic care services. Accordingly, the aim of the organization was broadened to most of the basic services required for women and children including persons with disability to realize their full human potential.
