At Water is Basic, we train and equip women to launch and manage well repair businesses turning water back on for thousands of families. For almost twenty years we have had one goal, clean water for all South Sudanese. With women leading the way, we expect to reach that goal by 2030.

There’s a better way to end the water crisis.
When you invest in a woman pump mechanic, you invest in a change maker like Maria Amul. Maria’s journey has blossomed into a true story of resilience and empowerment. At 26, she’s now a proud secondary school graduate, a skilled well mechanic, and a mother of three dedicated to uplifting her community.
With every well she restores, Maria is building a brighter, more independent life for her family and inspiring others in her community to pursue their dreams.
