Great.com Interview: Sustainable Water & Sanitation

Karim Bukhadurov from Great.com interviewed Water For South Sudan as part of their 'Great.com Talks With...' podcast. This series is an antidote to negative news stories that aims to shed light on organizations and experts whose work is making a positive impact on the world.

In July this year, South Sudan will celebrate its tenth birthday. The fledgling African nation is the world’s newest country. Unfortunately, South Sudan is also one of the world’s poorest countries. Lynn Malooly discussed the importance of providing the South Sudanese people with sustainable clean water and sanitation.

Helping South Sudan Consign Its Perilous Beginning To History 

When South Sudan broke away from its northern neighbor, its new government became largely isolated. The country has since struggled with internal conflict, lack of resources and poor infrastructure. Water for South Sudan installs the pumps and other equipment needed to ensure as many South Sudanese people as possible have reliable access to clean water.

Lynn explained that Water for South Sudan benefits from overseeing the whole installation and maintenance procedure. There is no middleman, because the organization’s entire team works on the ground with local administrators. Water pump failure is one of the most common problems clean water charities face, which is why Water for South Sudan supports local sustainable repair efforts.

Listen to the whole interview to hear the inspiring story of Salva, our founder, who left his adopted country of the USA to help provide his ill South Sudanese father with clean drinking water. Water for South Sudan also welcomes donations.
