Acqua Potabile per Motot (Sud Sudan) Clean Water for Motot

The region of Jonglei State (South Sudan), inhabited by the Lou Nuer tribe, suffers from scarcity of water during the dry season, Dry season goes from December to May.

Water used for human consumption, for animals and for cultivation is available only during rainy seasons (June-November),

During the dry season, local people make use of swampy water which is often contaminated and is the cause of water-borne diseases. .

Swamps eventually dry up. Women and children, have to walk long distances to find a small amount of water for the daily domestic use.

We have opted to drill a borehole in Motot, one of the remotest area of South Sudan. Motot does not have infrastructures or projects to build water reservoirs for human and animal needs for the long dry season.

Today, 5000 people enjoy Clean water thanks to the help of many generous people through Healing Hands.
