Clean Water Initiative
Organization: CARE Sudan
Project: Clean Water Initiative in Sudan
In Sudan's displacement camps and remote villages, women and girls spend hours each day walking dangerous distances to fetch water that may not even be clean. They face violence, harassment, and injury—all for a resource that should be a basic human right .
The consequences are deadly. Over 60,000 cholera cases have been reported, spread through contaminated water. Over 70% of health facilities lack clean water for medical purposes .
CARE Sudan has worked in the country since 1979, delivering sustainable water solutions to communities cut off from safe water .
