World Relief Canada

Published purpose

March 2013 - Ongoing inter-ethnic, militia and cross-border conflicts in South Sudan continue to create significant displacement, resulting in increased pressure on water and sanitation infrastructure, as well as the health infrastructure throughout the country. With Canada's support, World Relief Canada will provide emergency water, sanitation, hygiene and non-food items to over 55,000 conflict-affected people in Uror County, Jonglei State, South Sudan. Project activities will focus on: establishing 8 new water points and the rehabilitation of 11 existing water sites; providing water troughs for livestock at boreholes to mitigate against water-related conflicts; training of 12 hand pump mechanics, focusing on providing training to youth; training 19 water committees on repair, maintenance and testing of water sites; rehabilitating 150 latrines and 550 household latrines; and distributing non-food items to 1,150 conflict-affected households.
