Improving lives with access to safe water in Sudan
For decades, people living in the remote community of Alsabaat in eastern Sudan had no other option but to use a nearby canal as their water source. Seven thousand people, 60 percent of whom are children, used the canal’s contaminated, unsafe water mixed with algae. After UNICEF rehabilitated a solarized water treatment plant, families in the area now have access to safe, clean water. People are able to cook and drink water from a source close to home and children, like 12-year-old Fatima, are now spending time playing and learning instead of making long treks to collect water.
