Life Giving Water Wells

Almost 5.1 million people in South Sudan lack access to safe water according to UNICEF. The reasons are complex but, climate crisis, conflict, lack of infrastructure, and lack of economic growth are a few reasons for this.

Water for South Sudan works to solve these problems holistically by providing access to safe water in rural villages. Local governments are involved at every step, securing buy-in from the community.

Villagers work alongside the WFSS team, participating in hygiene education and well maintenance training, thus ensuring long-term sustainability. They also help construct water storage and distribution systems, drill and repair wells, and build latrines—bridging the gap between tribes and reducing conflict.
