South Sudan School 2 (2027)
Our implementing partner, Water for South Sudan, operations teams are based in Wau and work in remote villages in the Bahr el Ghazal region of South Sudan. These isolated villages have extremely limited access to clean water, and often can only access contaminated water that will lead to sickness or even death. WFSS works with local governments and community leaders to determine the placement of wells. The goal is to create sustainable systems, incorporating well maintenance and training as part of the installation of a well.

Standard College School Nsangi
Serving 1234 students in Uganda’s Katereke community as a private day and boarding school for secondary students, Standard College School Nsangi currently relies on water from a protected spring but continually finds its needs unmet. The source does not provide enough water and is far off-campus. When there is water available, it has unacceptable taste, color, and smell. To supplement this, the school spends an average of $70 USD every month on water expenses alone, funds that should go to curriculum materials or even toys for the students. In order to protect the health of students and teachers, Standard College School Nsangi is in need of a solution that will provide safe water for drinking, handwashing, and more.

St. George RC Primary School
Saint George RC Primary School began humbly in 1974, established by the Catholic Mission to serve children who previously had no access to nearby education. At the time, pupils from surrounding communities were forced to walk long distances to attend school. The school opened with just 50 pupils—35 boys and 15 girls—and two dedicated staff members, operating out of a dilapidated structure with no sanitation facilities. Pupils relied on nearby community latrines, yet families still embraced the opportunity for their children to learn closer to home.Over time, the school grew steadily as more families enrolled their children, recognizing the value of accessible education. What began as a small and struggling institution has become one of the most respected primary schools in Lokomasama Chiefdom, known for producing strong academic results. Pupils from Saint George consistently perform well on the National Primary School Examination (NPSE), drawing even more parents to the school.Today, Saint George serves 355 pupils—176 boys and 179 girls—from seven surrounding communities. The school now has two main buildings and two latrine blocks with six drop holes, supported by four staff members. Despite this progress, the school continues to face growing pressure as enrollment increases, highlighting the ongoing need for improved facilities to support its expanding student population.
Ukumbi Primary School
Ukumbi Primary School is a government-owned day school situated in Ukumbi Village. The school serves both boys and girls from nearby communities and currently has a total enrollment of 760 pupils, supported by 11 staff members, including both teachers and non-teaching personnel. Despite its commitment to providing quality education, Ukumbi faces a significant challenge regarding access to safe and reliable water.
WASH for Batey Communities (phase 2)
The Dominican Republic is home to approximately 230 rural communities known as “bateyes” set up around state-run sugar mills, which once formed the economic backbone of this small Caribbean nation. The bateyes are socioeconomically isolated communities previously built by the government on sugar cane plantations to house cane cutters, mostly from neighboring Haiti. Today, both Haitians and their offspring and Dominicans live in the bateyes in extreme poverty with limited access to essential services, including clean drinking water—a fundamental human right.
Water Delivery #1 (2027)
On the Navajo Nation, 30% of families live without running water. They drive for miles to haul water to meet their basic needs and carefully ration water for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and bathing. Our implementing partner, DigDeep’s, Navajo Water Project, a locally-led, community-managed utility alternative, has been working to solve this injustice; by bringing working taps and toilets to families across the region.
