Give Clean Water Today
Water connects us all. It's essential for life, yet 5 million people in South Sudan still lack access to clean water. Your support helps provide daily water, sanitation, and hygiene services to these communities. This holiday season,, give the gift of clean water and make a lasting impact.
When you give the gift clean water, you change lives, just like Regina’s
For individuals like Regina Ajok Achor, access to clean water represents much more than just the ability to drink—it signifies a transformative change. Clean water empowers her and her community to thrive by improving overall health, reducing the spread of disease, and creating opportunities for a better quality of life. It’s a vital resource that fosters well-being, supports economic growth, and paves the way for a brighter, healthier future for all.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is a holistic approach. Our locally hired, 100% South Sudanese team leads all of our water, sanitation, and hygiene programs in the rural communities we serve. Speaking the languages and understanding the customs of the communities we work in means our projects are long-lasting and continue to provide communities in need with invaluable and sustainable WASH programs to create healthier and prosperous communities.

It all started with a Lost Boy of Sudan who just kept walking…
Water for South Sudan began when a Lost Boy from a rural village in southwestern Sudan returned home, only to find his father fighting deadly waterborne parasites.
After seeing his father’s condition, Salva decided to take matters into his own hands and help his community access better water, sanitation, and hygiene practices.
And today, we call this movement Water for South Sudan!
