Why South Sudan
South Sudan is one of the most water-scarce countries in the world. In many rural communities, families rely on contaminated rivers or hand-dug pits for their daily water—putting their health, safety, and future at risk. Women and children often walk hours each day just to collect water that can make them sick, preventing them from going to school or pursuing opportunities.
Why Water for South Sudan?
Water for South Sudan works where the need is greatest. Our South Sudanese-led teams drill sustainable wells and provide WASH (Water, Sanitation, And Hygiene) training so communities can manage their water sources long into the future.
Clean water does more than quench thirst—it creates opportunity, supports education, and strengthens communities.
When you support WFSS, you bring lasting change to a young nation and provide one of the most powerful tools for stability: Clean. Safe. Water.
