Today we celebrate our newest U.S. team member, Carrie Ward. Carrie has served on the Water is Basic board, traveled to South Sudan and RDC, and raised loads of money for our work. To meet Carrie is to run into a big heart, that is passionate for those who on the bottom half of life.
Mothers are ferocious warriors for their families. Today, those same mothers run businesses repairing boreholes, earning enough to feed their families, pay school fees, and even lend a hand to others. These women are changing their world and our understanding of what our privilege can do to help others thrive.
The impact of the South Sudan national basketball team extends beyond the court. Their success has inspired a new generation of athletes in South Sudan, encouraging young boys and girls to pursue their dreams. The team’s achievements have brought a sense of pride and unity to a nation often marred by conflict and adversity.

This story of Water is Basic is way bigger than clean water. It’s economic opportunity, generational transformation, women's empowerment, and hope for a nation.
