Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Sudan’s ongoing civil wars have chased 2 million people from Darfur and the south to Khartoum, the capital, where they struggle to survive in informal settlements with no access to public services. In Dar al-Salaam al-Rabwa, 40 kilometers from Khartoum, 35,000 residents suffer cholera, diarrhea and other diseases from insufficient clean water. Only one of five water stations is operational, and the entire community relies on unsanitary water deliveries by donkey cart.

Activities

NEF’s project first will connect the community’s NEF-run health center and two NEF-supported schools directly to a clean water supply.NEF then will repair three water stations,connect an additional school and install hand pumps and filtration systems

Project Message

One of the most pressing issues in [Dar al-Salaam al-Rabwa] is the extreme lack of clean water...[which] may be a cause for many of the waterborne diseases that are treated at the [NEF-run] clinic.
