Project Totals
It all started with a Lost Boy of Sudan who just kept walking…
Water for South Sudan began when a Lost Boy from a rural village in southwestern Sudan returned home, only to find his father fighting deadly waterborne parasites.
After seeing his father’s condition, Salva decided to take matters into his own hands and help his community access better water, sanitation, and hygiene practices.
And today, we call this movement Water for South Sudan!
5 MILLION
people in South Sudan live without daily access to safe water and sanitation services.
3.7 MILES
Children, often girls, spend their days walking for water. They walk an average of 3.7 miles per trip. Sometimes they make multiple trips to obtain water, carrying up to 40 pounds (18 kgs) of water each time.
10 PERCENT
of people in South Sudan have access to basic sanitation services
