South Sudan School 3 (2025)
Our implementing partner, Water for South Sudan's, 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.

St. Augustine Indulusia Primary School
St. Augustine Indulusia Primary School was started in the Year 2007 by well-wishers. It started with a population of 50 students and 1 untrained teacher who taught all the subjects. The school currently has a population of 559 Students, 15 staff, and 2 Support staff. It has a rising population yearly because of its good performing streak.
St. Bruno Mwembe Primary School
A government-aided primary and nursery day school, St. Bruno Mwembe Primary School hosts 412 students, taught by 14 teachers in 8 classrooms. The primary school water source is piped water into the yard. Still, this source is highly unreliable, and staff described it as of poor quality, with an unacceptable color and taste. It is sometimes unavailable during daytime hours, typically only four days a week. Students fetch water twice a day and often miss class in the dry season to find alternate water sources. Most of the school’s water-related expenses center around treatment, which they do by rudimentary filtration and boiling.
St. Kizito Kayabwe Primary School
St. Kizito Kayabwe Primary School hosts roughly 700 primary school students, taught by 17 teachers throughout 10 classrooms. This day school is government-aided, relying on governmental funds for support. Although piped water is on school grounds, it is highly unreliable, and students, mainly girls, must fetch water twice a day. The facility spends 130,000 Ush monthly (roughly $35 USD) on water alone. Additionally, students and staff must boil the water before it can be used to wash dishes, prepare food, and/or drink. To eliminate health concerns among students, we are hoping to install a new rainwater collection system and provide water filters and handwashing stations.
St. Mugagga Junior School
Students at St. Mugagga Junior School currently have unreliable water sources including a small pond which is 4 kilometers roundtrip from the school. The pond is being shared with animals and other community members. Students face many challenges along the way while fetching water from the pond, including:
St. Paul's Primary School
St. Paul's Primary School in Zomba District, Malawi, has an extremely large enrollment of 2,665 students and only 24 teachers with a sprawling campus of 15 classrooms. Students walk to school from as far as a 7km distance. In the overcrowded classrooms, students sit on the floor as there are no desks to accommodate them.
St. Stephen Chepsaga Secondary School
St. Stephen Chepsaga Secondary School is a mixed-gender institution established in 2014. The school is continuously developing, with ongoing infrastructure projects marking significant progress. Additionally, Chepsaga Secondary excels in agricultural practices, which are supported by a dedicated school farm and an active agriculture club, which enhance hands-on learning and sustainability efforts.Every day, the 174 students and 14 staff of St. Stephen Chepsega Secondary School go without sufficient water to meet their needs, causing an unneeded distraction that steals everyone's attention and time from their primary goal of learning.
