With the vision of "building hope and health for life," the Alaska Sudan Medical Project has worked in a remote, impoverished region of South Sudan since 2008 to provide health, water, sanitation and agricultural systems one of the world's newest and poorest countries.

What they found was even more desperate than they could have imagined. In just a ten day period Dr. Hickel watched several villagers die from preventable diseases and malnutrition. Dr. Jack Hickel came home convinced that his community could do something to help the people of Old Fangak. He gathered a group of friends together and formed the Alaska Sudan Medical Project now called Alaska Health Project South Sudan. After consulting with Dr. Seaman and envisioning a clear mission, the initial goals of supporting the vital work of Dr. Seaman and improving the health of the local population was formed.
