Over the last year bringing water to children in South Sudan has grown in necessity and complication. It has officially been one year since war broke out in the region. So far, tens of thousands of families have been forced from their homes, villages and communities. In search for safety, some 20,000+ refugees (Internally Displaced People or IDPs) have made their way to Old Fangak, formerly a village of 3,000. ASMP is on the ground bringing much needed support.
Last year, just before the war broke out we completed five new water wells. They have been critical in supporting the local villagers and now the IDPs. However, to be able to serve the needs of everyone more wells must be drilled, and fast! In the last several weeks our team of well drillers completed three new water wells and are working hard to build two more.
Water not only enables life but it is a prerequisite to life. We have the opportunity to provide life to thousands of innocent people displaced by the fighting of their countrymen. The water that we harvest will save lives. ASMP is in the right place at the right time.
