Operating Season Update: Spring 2024
Though the operating season is quickly coming to a close in the next two months, our South Sudan team has been striving to reach our season goals of 20 new wells, 20 well rehabilitations, and 40 hygiene education training programs.
In addition to these regular operating season goals, established partnership projects with Norwegian Church Aid, UNICEF, and The Carter Center have continued this year, as well as a project with Caritas South Sudan.
