Loreto Rumbek is made up of a kindergarten, a primary school, a secondary school and a Primary Health Care Centre.
Loreto is present in South Sudan since 2008, when the Irish Province established a mission in Rumbek, in the Maker Kuei community. This foundation was begun by four Sisters including Sr Orla Treacy who is now the Director of the Mission.
Initially the mission began a small school that has grown from a first class with only 25 girls to a current enrollment of almost 300 secondary school girls and a primary school with over 1000 students.
In Rumbek, South Sudan, members are engaged in both Primary and Secondary Education and they also provide internships for those who wish to do Teacher Training and develop other skills. The most recent development was the opening of a Healthcare Clinic which benefits the school population as well as the local people in Rumbek.
