2023 Season Update-Partnership Projects

By Elissa A. Rowley | Development and Communications Coordinator

Emergency temporary latrine constructed fall 2022

WFSS just kicked off the regular operating season in December to implement our flagship clean water projects: 32 newly drilled wells, 50 well rehabilitations, 2 water storage and distribution systems, and hygiene education trainings in each community served.

But did you know that teams have been working in the field since November, implementing special projects with established partners like UNICEF and Norwegian Church Aid? Field teams are also gearing up for another project with partner The Carter Center, drilling new wells, and rehabilitating broken wells to continue the successful fight to eradicate guinea worm disease by ensuring access to clean water.
