Grateful

What are you grateful for this season?

That's an easy question for us—we're grateful to have you as a member of the WFSS global community, supporting and cheering on our team as we continue to provide life-changing clean water projects for people living in rural communities in South Sudan: new and rehabilitated wells, water storage and distribution systems, hygiene education, latrines (bathrooms), and so much more.

The growth of WFSS is only possible because of people just like you.

This year's "Just Keep Walking" Virtual Challenge has been a huge success because of the miles you've walked, ran, hiked, or biked!

We were able to raise $16,399, enough to drill a new well in a vulnerable community in South Sudan.

Thank you to our 105 participants from 16 U.S. states, Australia, Canada, Kenya, South Sudan, and Switzerland!
