Across South Sudan, thousands of wells sit broken—cutting off clean water for entire communities overnight. Instead of building new systems from scratch, Water Is Basic focuses on restoring what already exists. We train local women to repair these wells and turn water back on in hours, bringing relief to hundreds of people at a time.

These women aren’t just technicians—they become trusted leaders in their communities, ensuring repairs are made quickly and consistently. By combining local ownership with practical training, we’ve created a model that doesn’t just deliver water—it keeps it flowing long after the repair is done.
