Their Mission: To create a self sustaining community which will vastly improve quality of life, and infrastructure by implementing the following: clean water technology, education - both social and academic, micro-credit lending, healthcare, agriculture.

Apuk Padoc is a community of 50 to 70 thousand people, located within Warrap state (formally Tonj State) of Southern Sudan. The region has been at peace now for two years, but a two-decade long civil war has left them to work life out under bare survival conditions. One well, as well as one under-staffed community health unit barely serve thousands of people living in this community.

Having safe drinking water for the residents in Sudan can be costly. Based on an information drawn from the Water for Sudan project, hiring Engineers and Trading Companies to drill boreholes and complete wells that will provide a minimum of 500 liters of good quality water per hour costs $10,000 per borehole. Each borehole is 70 to 100 meters deep to reach the existing aquifer. In this arrangement the wells cost $9,500 each plus $500 of spare parts and water testing equipment.

Action in Sudan Fully supports this cause for the following reasons...

We help those in need directly, bypassing the beaurocratic red tape of larger NGO's.

Progress can be easily measured by the number of clean wells and health facilities we fund.
