  • Our Proposed Solution to South Sudan’s Environmental Health and Drinking Water Problem

Our organization is well aware of South Sudan’s enivronmental health crisis and safe drinking water problem. As an environmental organization dedicated to helping its people, we have developed a solution and plan to help them battle it.

Problem Summary

South Sudan is currently experiencing a significant environmental crisis, with public health rapidly deteriorating. Some of the most common issues stem from soil degradation due to the country's rapid deforestation. People within the ten states are witnessing a consequent loss in wildlife habitats, biodiversity, and other related factors. Furthermore, the crisis has resulted in the pollution of rivers and the ecosystem in general.
Poor oil drilling operations add to the depletion of resources, and lowering environmental standards. Environmental pollution factors have a significant impact on public health. The poor standards have led to increased related diseases such as alarming birth defects, miscarriages, typhoid, malaria, and other diarrheal illnesses.
The situation is aggravated by widespread water contamination. Poor environmental sanitation and surface runoff create problems, eventually leading to improper disposal of liquid and solid waste on open ground., etc.
The oil industry in South Sudan hasn’t done much to improve the problem but has left a landscape pocked with contaminated soil, open waste pits, and alarming congenital disabilities. Residents and soldiers stationed near oil pits have reported alarming rates of health problems and miscarriages.
The drinking water crisis in South Sudan is also well-known. With the growing stature of the situation, the general standard of living in South Sudan is declining. Residents are facing issues with access to safe drinking water, and sanitary standards are at their worst.
A healthy ecosystem is based on a pure environment and safe drinking water, coupled with adequate resources for society's betterment. But these have long escaped the people of the Republic of South Sudan. Residents have had to live without proper resources for water and a pure environment as a whole.
The SSESA understands what the people are missing out on. Residents currently have to survive without a reliable, safe water supply to drink and use. The lack of adequate environmental and natural resources protection measures hinders a quality healthy environment. It fosters several other problems, including infant mortality, poor hygiene practices, and the prevalence of more ailments.

Solution Summary

Negative environmental impacts and the breakdown of ecological and natural resources protection provisions and safe drinking water subjected the population to suffering without mitigation. The people's general protection and health depend on effective and sustained collaboration between different professions and disciplines in the public and private sectors. Therefore, SSESA’s founder has established this organization to fill the gaps created by ongoing political conflict since 2013.
Our objectives alleviate the suffering of communities in the most affected areas of South Sudan by providing basic environmental health guidance and a safe water supply. We also plan to work on the environment through agriculture safety, flood preparedness , and much more.
As an NGO, our programs include conservation of the environment, provision of safe water, and sanitation. The primary intervention strategy is to raise funds from funding donors to provide sustainable food production and contribute to peace and development by working with NGOs, UN agencies, CBOs, and independent, faith-based organizations.
Once SSESA approaches the shores of South Sudan, it will place heavy emphasis on the problem of safe water supplies for residents. We plan to achieve sustainable results through decent governance practices and a safe environment for accessibility and health to provide safe drinking water for South Sudan.
