Water for South Sudan's photostream

Water for South Sudan transforms lives in South Sudan by drilling wells, providing clean, safe drinking water.

Water for South Sudan, Inc., based in Rochester, New York, USA, is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation founded in 2003. We operate successfully with a small paid staff, a network of committed volunteers, supported by civic, educational, and faith-based groups and individual donors as well as grants from foundations.

Our mission is simple: drill borehole wells which bring safe drinking water to the people in South Sudan's remote villages, transforming lives in the process. This mission is inspired and led by our founder, former "Lost Boy" Salva Dut.

As of May 2011, Water for South Sudan has successfully drilled 104 borehole wells, bringing clean, safe water to tens of thousands of people in South Sudan.
