Over the past 15 years, Water for South Sudan has drilled 350 wells, rehabilitation 83 older wells, provided hygiene education training to 239 villages, and for the first time, built a sustainable toilet facility.
WFSS field staff is ready to kick off the 2019 drilling season this month. Our drilling, rehab, and hygiene teams are already hard at work preparing in the field. Our goals for 2019 are to drill up to 40 new wells, rehab up to 50 wells, and provide hygiene training in each village where we work, potentially 90 villages.
In addition to drilling, WFSS is monitoring the Zogolona School sanitation project completed in 2018. Both students and teachers of the Zogolona School have been enjoying uninterrupted school days now that they have a toilet facility. During weekly evaluations, field staff notes the facility is in good condition and kept clean inside and out. The school hygiene team is maintaining hygiene activities at the school and ensuring water and soap are available for handwashing. Because of the facility, the school qualified for monthly food distribution from World Food Program.
