Operating Season Update: Spring 2024

Written By Water for South Sudan

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.
