Life in Panyagor, South Sudan can be difficult. Floodwater stretches across roads, markets and fields. People wade through it up to their knees. Children spend hours each day searching for anything drinkable instead of going to school. Many walk long, unsafe distances, returning home with only enough water for a single day.
Most of the water they’re drinking isn’t safe, but they have no other choice.
Boreholes – sources of safe water – have collapsed, and wells are contaminated with human waste and debris. Latrines have been washed away, and in overcrowded displacement sites where many families have sought safety, the hygiene conditions are extremely unsafe. Cases of cholera, diarrhea and typhoid are rising. For young children, these illnesses can often be deadly.
