2020-21 Operating Season

First Well Rehabilitation of the 2020-21 Season

Dear Friend,

Thank you—for stepping up, for bringing hope to the people that need it the most, and for sharing our vision of a South Sudan where every single person has access to clean water. Even with the onset of the COVID–19 pandemic, we were still able to drill 57 new wells, rehabilitate 48 older wells, conduct 13 hygiene education trainings, and distribute relevant COVID–19 information to more than 18,000 people. Because of you, we served more than 80,000 people during the 2019–20 operating season. We're proud to have you in our corner.

An update on the 2020–21 drilling season: Water for South Sudan just launched the 2020–21 operating season, and we've already rehabilitated seven of our older wells, with a goal of 50 rehabilitation, and drilled two new wells, with plans to drill 40 new wells this season. We've also conducted nine hygiene educations trainings.

Wishing you peace and good health for 2021,

~Water for South Sudan Team

COVID-19 Work Continues

The team continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 emergency hygiene training. To date, more than 18,800 people have learned about COVID-19 risk, symptoms, and prevention. The hygiene team is distributing face masks and soap at each training site. We are in regular contact with WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) clusters and will continue to share updates with you as they develop.

Calling All Rotarians: Join the 40 for 40 Campaign

Are you a Rotarian or know someone who is? As we navigate this uncertain time, hygiene and sanitation services are more important than ever. We're in search of 40 Clubs interested in helping raise the $40,000 needed to provide another school with toilet facilities and hygiene education. Consider introducing us to your club.
