Friends of St Teresa Nzara
Friends of St Teresa Nzara brings together a group of Australian volunteers and donors dedicated to improving health and well-being in disadvantaged, low-resource communities. By working with partners both in Australia and overseas, we aim to strengthen healthcare systems, expand access to essential services, and create lasting benefits for communities most in need.

Mothers & Childbirth
A South Sudanese mother faces a 7 in 100 chance of dying in childbirth — in Australia it’s less than 6 in 100,000.
Children’s Survival
99 out of 1,000 children die before their 5th birthday in South Sudan. In Australia, it’s about 3 out of 1,000.
Health Care Access
In South Sudan, there is only 1 doctor for every 65,574 people.
In Australia, it’s about 1 doctor for every 302 people.
Our Projects
Staff Training
Building skills. Building confidence.
New staff receive multi-area training—nursing, midwifery, medicine, radiography, and maintenance/equipment—so every shift has the right skills on hand.
New Solar Power Station
Powering better care—every day
In 2023, our hospital’s solar system doubled in capacity, securing cleaner, more reliable electricity for critical services.
Infrastructure Repair
Spaces that heal, built with care.
In 2024/25, a new Paediatric Centre was designed, planned, and built through a collaboration between FSTTN Architects and our Board—made possible by generous donations and major sponsors.
