Wells for Sudan
"I'm going to tell you what I've seen with my own eyes..."
War has ravaged a country. People are thirsty for hope.
In January 2010, our newest partner, Water Harvest International, began drilling wells with The Water Project in Southern Sudan.
With your support we can help provide safe water and lasting hope to people who need both.
About the Projects
With your help, we will fund fresh-water wells to be placed at schools for about $4,000 each. Or, for as little at $2,500 a well can be placed at a church (subsidised by WHI partners).
To grow this project quickly, we're asking you to get involved today and help us fund at least two wells per month in Sudan.
Wells will be placed in remote villages with up to 400 inhabitants who today drink from open holes or streams. Water-borne diseases such as cholera, trachoma, diarrhea, river blindness, others are a major problem in these communities.
Building and Follow-Up
The well building process is more involved than just digging a hole. WHI, like The Water Project, recognizes the importance of a holistic approach to these water projects.
Their process includes a thorough site survey, sanitation training, evangelism, training of villagers in pump repair, and establishment of a water committee to oversee well use and maintenance.
WHI will also regularly check up on wells to ensure functionality and fair use.
About Our Partner
The Water Project, Inc. is proud to announce our partnership with Water Harvest International (WHI), a U.S.-based Christian safe water non-profit with an operational base in Southern Sudan.
WHI are well operators. They own and run a DTH drilling rig on the ground in South Sudan with a Sudanese crew. The Water Project works with direct drillers like WHI to keep costs low and to ensure full transparency.
Join us. Get involved today and help change everything for a community in Sudan.
