Thanks to your generosity, Global Water Challenge (GWC) and women for water are supporting Aqua Africa’s work to provide clean water to the community of Maiwut, South Sudan.
Together, we are working to bring clean water to 10,000 people, 2 schools and 1 health clinic. Powered by solar energy, the project will also supply electricity to the schools and health clinic.
We believe that water is a powerful catalyst for thriving communities and women's empowerment. South Sudan has long suffered from lack of access to basic services and gender-based violence. The project will allow more women and girls to attend school and pursue income-generating opportunities, supported by a sustainable service model that will provide water and energy for years to come.
After overcoming major challenges resulting from the pandemic, floods, civil conflicts, inflation and supply chain issues, the project has made progress drilling four water wells in Maiwut and will begin construction of the water towers in early May. The well construction is estimated to be completed and delivering clean water to the community in June.
Again, thank you for your support! Because of you, we are able to provide clean water access and electricity to South Sudanese who need it most.
