Well Pump in Gurei

Background

Southern Sudan faces a severe humanitarian crisis caused by three years of civil war. In February 2017, famine - the highest alert level - was declared in several areas of the country, which means that people are already starving. To these must be added the almost 5 million more who face extreme hunger.

The main concern is to provide access to safe drinking water to the most vulnerable population.

Objectives

The project has been carried out on the campus of the DMI sisters' teacher training institute in Gurei, region of
Juba. The teacher training school, the preschool with 200 pupils and the primary school have been provided with water. In addition, it is the place where seminars and courses are organized for women, children and young people, about 500 people in total.

Milestones

This project has resulted in 230 people now having access to drinking water.
