Shared Reads, Shared Impact

This summer, we’re celebrating the power of story—and the incredible community that brings these stories to life.
One of our wonderful supporters, Christina, recently shared a heartwarming moment with us: a visit from her step-granddaughter, Caroline, who brought along her summer read, A Long Walk to Water. As they sat together, the book sparked conversations about courage, compassion, and the global water crisis—and reminded us just how far the ripple of one story can go.
Have a story or photo to share? We’d love to feature you! Send your reading moment to adriana.mancini@waterforsouthsudan.org or tag us on social media with #ALongWalkToWater.
Together, let’s keep walking toward change—one page at a time.
Thank you for watering the seeds of change in South Sudan!
