Water is Basic Information

Water is Basic, through the Women’s Well Repair Initiative, is working to ensure every person in South Sudan has access to clean water. Because the water crisis is best solved by those most impacted by it, women. We are training women well mechanics to run independent businesses, turning water back on for thousands of villages in South Sudan. By 2030, South Sudan will have reliable access to clean water—maintained not by outside aid, but by the people themselves. Our work focuses on restoring reliable water access and strengthening communities. We aren’t building a nonprofit—we’re eliminating the need for one.
