Our mission is to put clean safe water within reasonable access of every person in the Republic of South Sudan.
Water is Basic(WiB) is a locally led borehole drilling organization in the Republic of South Sudan birthed in the middle of the CPA by Sudanese religious leaders. We desire that all Sudanese will have access to clean safe water. We work hard to be a low cost, highly efficient organization attuned to local customs and attractive to worldwide investors and water organizations. We installed 350 wells in our first three years of operation running two Pat Drill 301TP rigs all paid for by US donations. We aim to be self-funding within South Sudan by 2014.
