Sugar-Salem Junior High students in science teacher's Geo-Inquiry class set goal to help construct and drill five hand-pump wells.

Since Dec. 8 , three wells have been constructed and paid for, thanks in large part to an anonymous contributor.

The students are hoping to raise enough funds so that 120,000 people in the Thiik community will have fresh water.

A class at Sugar-Salem Junior High raised $ 6,000 to build a well in Yak ’s hometown.

Give Education Priority Organization has rented a water rig, drilled deep into the South Sudanese soil, and erected four reliable, hand pump wells in the Katchuat region.

The wells are placed strategically so that all 120,000 people in the Thiik community can reach a well within a two hour walk.
