Restore hope, health, and dignity to communities

We are on a mission to rehabilitate wells for 12 communities. You can join us in making a difference. No matter how much you give, every dollar is the first step to ensuring access to clean water and restoring hope, health, and dignity to communities across South Sudan.

Bring life to new wells

Supporting the rehabilitation of wells is crucial for our sustainable water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) initiatives, ensuring uninterrupted access to clean water for communities in need. Our dedicated rehabilitation team works tirelessly to upgrade degraded wells, including those drilled by other organizations, to meet our rigorous standards.

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!

 5 MILLION

People in South Sudan live without daily access to safe water and sanitation services.

3.7 MILES

Children, often girls, spend their days walking for water. They walk an average of 3.7 miles per trip. Sometimes they make multiple trips to obtain water, carrying up to 40 pounds (18 kgs) of water each time.

10 PERCENT

of people in South Sudan have access to basic sanitation services
