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.

“We used to get sick all the time. We kept getting diarrhea, and it disrupted our family life and our studies,” says Ernestine.

World Vision Ghana convened national stakeholders to advance sanitation in Ghana, as government makes sanitation a key performance measure for local government leaders.

Flood-resilient sanitation is transforming lives in Mabalane, Mozambique, where improved latrines are helping families like Lucia’s gain dignity, safety and protection from recurring floods.
