Ganji Payam, Juba County, Central Equatoria State, South Sudan – 2024 — Human Appeal and Development Organization (HADO) successfully rehabilitated a non-functional borehole in Ganji Payam, restoring access to safe and reliable drinking water for vulnerable households in the area.
The intervention, implemented in 2024, addressed prolonged water shortages caused by mechanical failure of the borehole system. The rehabilitation works included replacement of damaged components, repair of the hand pump system, inspection of the borehole structure, and water quality testing to ensure compliance with public health standards.
Located in Ganji Payam, within Juba County, Central Equatoria State, South Sudan, the rehabilitated water point now serves hundreds of residents who previously relied on unsafe and distant water sources.
Access to clean water is essential to preventing waterborne diseases and improving overall community health. By restoring the borehole, HADO has reduced the burden on women and children who often travel long distances to fetch water, while strengthening community resilience and promoting safe hygiene practices.
Community leaders welcomed the initiative, highlighting its importance in improving daily living conditions and safeguarding public health. A water management committee was also supported to oversee operation and maintenance, ensuring sustainability of the facility.
Human Appeal and Development Organization remains committed to improving access to safe water and essential services for underserved communities across South Sudan through sustainable, community-centered interventions.
