WATER

“Over 70% of Southern Sudan is without clean drinking water.”

Here you see the water test results from the samples taken from the Yei River and church’s complex water supply. When the water in the baggy turns black after 24 hours, you know you’re dealing with contaminated water. The contaminated water in this picture is the same water used for drinking, bathing, cleaning cars and human waste.

You’re able to see the results of a cholera outbreak in Southern Sudan in 2006. Many children and adults died because of the results of drinking contaminated water.

Here you see an organized Sudanese group effectively purifying water. The team was trained by the Nadus film crew during the Sudan trip this past July, 2007. The water purification system that was provided by Edge Outreach was left there in the hands of the church leaders and will be used regularly to provide clean drinking water for many.

Here in Juba (Southern Sudan’s capital), orphan boys rummage through trash in a congested area of the city. The “fresh water” tank is a stark contrast to the needs for clean water and the reality of the situation.

Nadus is focusing on the need for water by following around Lakia (pregnant school teacher). Here, you can clearly see the need for clean water when a pregnant woman is forced to retrieve water from a contaminated water supply such as the one below.
