Where We Work

Akot is a small, relatively remote village located in the Lakes State of South Sudan. The HHASS medical mission facility is strategically located adjacent to an airstrip and a main road. It is a four-hour drive from Akot to reach a facility of similar capabilities.

The population of Akot is unknown. Due to an influx of refugees, the population has grown significantly in recent years. In the past, the medical facility has provided over 38,000 patient visits per year, with patients arriving from great distances. The demand for services is expected to grow.

Most of the population are Dinka Agaar, with a mix of other ethnic groups including Nuer, Atuot, and Bor. The Christian churches appear to be thriving there, led mostly by Episcopalian, Catholic, and Baptist local clergy.
