Clean Water Brings Hope and Health

By Todd Hardesty | Executive Director

Clean drinking water!
Clean drinking water!

Imagine the day had come you'd been praying for.  A water well in your community.  Clean drinking water available for the first time ever.   This just happened in the village of Ruopgak, South Sudan.  As our drilling team finished the work and “handed over” the new well, there was singing and dancing.  Joyful outpouring of gratitude.  The day had come.  Imagine.

Throughout the region of South Sudan where we work, one by one, villages are receiving the gift of clean drinking water.  This has become an urgent, live saving mission as tens of thousands of refugees return to their home villages, fleeing the ongoing war in Sudan.  Over one million people have fled Sudan since this war broke out two years ago.

Victories like this, completing a new well in Ruopbak, are the result of this campaign.  The risk of waterborne diseases in Ruopgak just dropped.  Quality of life gained immeasurably.  Health and hope have been lifted and the women and girls who gather the water have experienced a life changing event.  A well providing clean drinking water.

Thank you for supporting this project.  I wish you could be with us and experience the joy and hear the singing.  Their voices lifting words of praise and gratitude.  “Clean water has been provided for us. Thank you.”

Lives change with clean water.
Lives change with clean water.
