In May 2007, the Duk Lost Boys Clinic opened in Duk County, South Sudan by the American Care for Sudan Foundation founded by John Dau and members of the Skaneateles, New York community. With oversight from the John Dau Foundation, the Clinic continues to be maintained through private donations and major grant initiatives.
