Students at Learnwell are raising $3,000 to repair wells for three communities in South Sudan.
We invite you to support them with a donation as they walk for water on April 17 so children in South Sudan no longer have to.
Water is Basic is designed to bring awareness and hope to the plight of many who tirelessly search for water. Women and young girls spend countless hours every day in Africa seeking water for their families. Water is Basic catalyzes local solutions to their plight.
Thousands of wells have been drilled in South Sudan over the last 50 years. Many of these wells will break down at least once during the year. When this happens, people will start getting dirty water from the river again, girls will miss school as they walk miles to get water, and water-borne illnesses will skyrocket. All while they wait for someone to fix their well.
For the past 3 years, Learnwell has partnered with Water is Basic and raised over $6,500 through student led efforts to help improve the quality of life in South Sudan. That's six communities that have gained access to clean water through well-repair because of the Learnwell community.
Together, we can make a difference!
