About Us

Water for South Sudan Foundation (WFSSF) is a registered national non-governmental organization (NNGO) in South Sudan with an Operations Center in Wau, Western Bahr el Ghaza, and a satellite office in Juba, Central Equatoria. WFSSF’s sister organization, Water for South Sudan, Inc. is a registered International NGO with an office located in Rochester, NY, USA.

WFSSF empowers communities to develop by implementing water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs: new well drilling, well rehabilitation, hygiene education training, sanitation, and water storage and distribution.

Hiring local leadership and staff in South Sudan helps develop the nation of South Sudan and supports stability across the country. Eighty-eight staff members (100% South Sudanese) make up the team in South Sudan and receive ongoing training to build the organization’s capacity. Our country director Ajang Abraham Agok leads operations from our compound in Wau.

Support for WFSSF’s programs comes from individuals, educational institutions, faith-based and civic organizations, and foundations in 59 countries. WFSS seeks to grow our programs and further our impact by collaborating and partnering with foundations, other NGOs, the Government of South Sudan, and international funders seeking to aid development in South Sudan.
