Ten-year-old Ayen walks daily to the Sobat River in Anackdiar Payam, where her family, displaced by conflict, relies on unsafe water for all basic needs. The contaminated river water especially during floods causes frequent illness, leaving Ayen often too weak to play. Her mother, Nyajuma, worries as sickness becomes routine for their children. Despite hardship, the community remains resilient but exhausted. Hope is emerging through a World Vision WASH project funded by the South Sudan Humanitarian Fund, which will provide safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services.

Mary Ayul, a 30-year-old mother from Nyilwal Boma in Panyikang County, recounts how flooding in March 2026 forced her and her five children to flee their home in the middle of the night when rising Nile waters inundated their village. Displaced to Tonga Payam, Mary faced new challenges, particularly the lack of proper sanitation, which threatened her family’s health and safety. With support from World Vision and funding from the South Sudan Humanitarian Fund, latrines were constructed for affected families, providing safe sanitation and reducing risks such as disease and exposure to dangers in the open. For Mary, the latrine represents more than infrastructure, it restores dignity, protects her children, and brings hope for a healthier future after the loss caused by the floods.
