The International Refugee Trust supports the work of the Comboni sisters in Jordan and South Sudan.
Jordan is a small country with few natural resources. And yet for over 50 years, Jordanians have provided a safe haven for millions of refugees – Palestinians, then Iraqis and now Syrians. The IRT first started supporting projects in Jordan in 1998. The two Italian Hospitals run by the Comboni sisters serve their local communities, which include many poor Iraqi and Palestinian refugees. As more Syrian refugees continued to arrive in Jordan the hospitals urgently needed money to be able to treat the sick and wounded.
South Sudan is the world's newest nation. Sadly in 2014 its progress was disrupted by civil war and many aid agencies left the country. However the Comboni sisters, supported by the IRT, continue their work running a hospital and primary school at Nzara. The sisters also support the Rainbow Volunteers HIV/AIDs programme.
