Clean Water for South Sudan Project

Where: South Sudan, Warrap Sate, Twic County

Project Description: To better serve communities in South Sudan by increasing the availability and access of clean drinking water.

The Need: Access to clean drinking water in one of the most critical issues in South Sudan. Water borne diseases are prevelent in communities that do not have a clean drinking water source. Many diseases in Sudan are hygiene related and are primarily transmitted through contaminated water sources. Often community members are seen drinking from contaminated water sources. Relaible clean drinking water sources for the people of South Sudan would drastically improve health conditions.   

Outcome: Improve health conditions by reducing water borne diseases with the availability of clean drinking water for communities.

Since women have a major responsibility for water related activities in Sudan one of the outcomes of the project is to decrease the time usally needed to collect water each day. This additional time could be used for education, especially for girls in the family who often have the time intensive task of collecting water on a daily basis for the family.
