Provision of Clean Water
South Sudan is suffering from a water crisis. Although Sudan has suffered from water scarcity for decades, it’s descent back into war after the country split has further exacerbated this. The constant conflict within South Sudan has left the country’s water systems neglected or destroyed. Unclean water is the source of many ailments.
As an initial solution, we have drilled small boreholes as an immediate help for the community members. However, we need to do more. Drilling bigger bore holes would provide community members with water for domestic use and animals. In addition, the water will also be used for irrigation to achieve the goal of food security
In addition to lack of clean water, the community also faces a healthcare crisis. Because of lack of healthcare facilities and reliance on traditional medicine, the community experiences high mortality rates. As such, provisison of quality healthcare services is another focus of GEPO. This will promote a healthy society.
The images below show the actual situation that the vulnerable community members have to undergo in their search for water for domestic use, which, in most cases is shared between animals and humans. This water is not safe for consumption. Though we have drilled some boreholes, the water they supply is not yet sufficient to meet the community needs.
