Sanitation Projects
WFSS’s sanitation program directly addresses the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #6 and Sustainable Development Goal #3 to ensure good health and access to water and sanitation for all.
Impact Snapshot
The first latrine was constructed in 2018 at Zogolona Primary School, serving 800 students.
We continue to work closely with school leadership to monitor the project and ensure it is sustainable
We have implemented similar projects at additional schools, including projects for a UNHCR refugee camp
Latrine construction, rehabilitation, and temporary latrine projects have been completed with Norwegian Church Aid and UNICEF.
The Impact
Before WFSS drilled a well and built latrines at Zogolona, children would often miss lessons because they had to walk 30 minutes on average to find drinking water or to relieve themselves in the bush. Now, with access to a latrine, the school day is not interrupted and learning is the main focus.
“We can now eat the sweet fruit of water which is life itself. WFSS has done a great job. We will keep up the spirit of what you have done. You will be in the history of Zogolona Primary School. The community will stand strongly for fundraising to support the latrine for the future.”

“South Sudan’s Minister of Education urged the rest of the NGOs to work like Water for South Sudan. She also said that the education system would be highly improved if all NGOs were operating like Water for South Sudan.”
