Each year, our student leaders raise funds to support Water for South Sudan through its Walk/Run for Water and other special events. To date, the students have raised $45,000 for Water for Sudan. A well was dedicated in MCC’s name in 2010.

Each day, hundreds of thousands of Sudanese walk for hours through desert to collect water. The water they drink is often contaminated with parasites and bacteria and, as a result, disease runs rampant throughout greater East Africa. Water for South Sudan drills wells that provide clean drinking water for the thirsty. This effort helps to prevent disease and stabilize villages… and lives.

According to MCC alumnus Salva Dut, founder of Water for South Sudan, “The challenge is enormous to those of us who uphold the sanctity of human life and the moral imperative to provide water to the thirsty. Fresh water is absolute requirement for a community's health. It is a stable developmental platform on which a community can build its future. It is, in short, life.
