Who PAH is in South Sudan:
PAH has been working in South Sudan since 2006 as one of the first NGOs established in Jonglei State. We pride ourselves to be a team of committed individuals aiming at delivering tangible and sustainable change in the largest, most populous and conflict-prone state of South Sudan. We are needs- and community based, hence aside drilling and repairing boreholes, developing accompanying O&M structures and innovative approaches to sanitation and hygiene promotion, we have also been developing our emergency response capacity. Our Emergency Response Team (ERT) mainly reacts to WASH and NFI needs of populations affected by conflicts and natural disasters, which have been on the increase for the past two years. Due to the expertise gathered over the years, we were also appointed to lead WASH Cluster in the state: we coordinate WASH emergency response with partners and hence make sure all vulnerable communities are served at the time of crisis.
