Provision of safe and clean water to 4000 people

Facilitating Action for Community Empowerment (FACE) has successfully rehabilitated 20 boreholes in Longechuk County, Upper Nile State in South Sudan with funding from Repaid Relief funds. This initiative aims to provide clean drinking water to returnees and refugees from the crises in Sudan and Ethiopia. The project has reached 1,123 beneficiaries. However, there are ongoing challenges in aiding new arrivals fleeing the war in Sudan. With the reduction in humanitarian budgets, FACE anticipates significant difficulties for the state's population and other needy areas in accessing clean water and food. Consequently, FACE is seeking support to assist these vulnerable communities urgently.

FACE is presently assisting the most vulnerable populations, including women, internally displaced persons, and refugees from Sudan and Ethiopia, within the Longechuk County of Upper Nile State through funding from Response Repaid Funds (RRF), aimed at providing support vulnerable groups with essential non-food items such as washing soap and buckets, both with and without taps. Additionally, FACE has undertaken the rehabilitation of four boreholes and fenced four others using local materials. The initiative has already enrolled approximately 1163 households who are set to benefit from these provisions.  FACE has started airlifting operations to transport these items to the project location.
