Action Against Hunger is providing communities with increased access to sustainable clean water and improved sanitation and hygiene conditions in Southern Sudan. The organization is constructing 10 new water points; rehabilitating 100 non-functioning boreholes; working with committees to manage clean water resources, including hand pumps; providing materials and support for latrine construction; and training communities members to act as focal points for hygiene promotion activities.

A community’s health and well-being require a lasting supply of clean water and the knowledge of how to use and care for it properly.

Southern Sudan is in a state of chronic emergency, particularly in the sectors of nutrition, food security, and water and sanitation. The region lacks basic infrastructure, and the population continues to face displacement due to political tensions, localized conflict, natural disasters and outbreaks of disease. Action Against Hunger's programs focus on assisting the most vulnerable populations in areas where high rates of malnutrition prevail by working with communities to improve water quality and quantity, sanitation infrastructure, and hygiene practices.

The humanitarian organization is mobilized to provide access to clean water and sanitation for more than 75,000 people in Gogrial West, Twic, and Aweil East counties of Southern Sudan.
