Support Clean Water in South Sudan

Water for South Sudan is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to dig wells for people with no easy access to water in South Sudan.

I learned about this organization this year in my 5th grade class when we were reading the book “A Long Walk To Water” by Linda Sue Park. I realized how lucky my community is to have easy access to clean, running water that we don’t even have to work for.

Water for South Sudan’s mission is to dig wells that bring clean, healthy water for those people right in their village. They dig wells for people who would otherwise have to walk up to 10 hours a day carrying at least 5 gallons of water! Even when they walk that far, they usually don’t end up with clean water; instead, they get dirty water that carries diseases that can make people extremely sick.
