WATER IS LIFE
ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER: A STEP TOWARD CHANGE
Every day, millions rely on less than five litres of water—a fraction of the emergency standard of 15 litres. This critical shortage jeopardizes health, disrupts education, and threatens entire livelihoods. Through wells, water pipelines, and filtration systems, Sadagaat Canada is delivering sustainable clean water solutions to communities in need.
By improving access to safe water, our projects reduce disease, strengthen community health, and create lasting change. Local water committees are trained to ensure sustainability, while schools are equipped with water coolers so children can focus on learning rather than fetching water.
Without urgent action, this crisis will escalate. Families will lose time, children will lose opportunities, and lives will be at risk. Your support can help turn this around.
Together, we can restore hope, save lives, and give communities the clean water they need to thrive.

OUR WASH PROJECTS
Water Station (New Construction)
Sadagaat Canada builds new water stations, boreholes, wells, and community water points in displaced and vulnerable areas across Sudan. These are permanent structures that keep working long after emergency teams leave. People get clean water close to home instead of walking hours to contaminated sources or paying for trucked water they can’t afford. It stops waterborne diseases like cholera and dysentery from spreading through crowded camps. The infrastructure stays functional for years, which matters more than any short-term relief handout. Communities that used to spend half their day hunting for water can now focus on rebuilding their lives.
NFI and Dignity (WASH) Emergency Kits
When families are forced to flee, they leave with nothing. Our emergency kits provide the basics people need to survive the first critical weeks: blankets, sleeping mats, soap, towels, water purification tablets, and jerrycans for carrying water. The kits include specific hygiene products for women and girls, which matters in crowded displacement settings where privacy is nearly impossible. In Tawila, Darfur, 1,000 kits reached 5,000 people who’d just arrived with nothing but the clothes they were wearing. It’s immediate relief that addresses survival and basic human dignity.
Emergency Latrines and Shower Rooms
Crowded displacement camps without proper toilets and showers become disease-breeding grounds fast. We rapidly construct segregated emergency latrines and shower facilities in IDP settings; separate, secure spaces for men, women, and children. It’s not just about hygiene. Women and girls face real danger when they have to walk far from the camp at night to find privacy. Proper sanitation facilities mean they can use the toilet or shower safely without fear. The facilities are built quickly because every day without them increases disease risk. Basic infrastructure that prevents outbreaks and protects the most vulnerable people in the camp.
Emergency Intervention Water Operation
When conflict damages water systems or existing wells stop working, people lose access to clean water overnight. Sadagaat Canada’s emergency water operations fix that problem fast: repairing broken pumps, rehabilitating damaged infrastructure, and providing fuel to keep generators running so water doesn’t stop flowing. In high-risk areas where thousands depend on a single water point, one breakdown can be catastrophic. These aren’t new construction projects; these rapid interventions restore or maintain water access when systems fail, and communities can’t afford to wait weeks for solutions. To help such communities, we have rehabilitated 3 major water stations serving thousands of people in need.
Emergency Intervention Water Tanks
Some displacement camps have zero water infrastructure, no wells or stations. Sadagaat Canada deploys large mobile water tanks and bladders that work as the primary water source for entire camps. These tanks are filled daily through water trucking, distributing at least 15 litres per person per day to meet basic survival needs. In Tawila and Aljazera, two tank operations served 6,580 people for 30 days straight. It’s a bulk storage that turns into a distribution point where families can collect what they need. The tanks keep communities alive while we build longer-term solutions.
Water Wall Initiative
Conflict in Sudan has destroyed large sections of the power grid, which means water stations that relied on electricity stopped pumping. Sadagaat Canada installs off-grid solar power systems on damaged water stations so they keep running regardless of what’s happening with the national grid. In two densely populated, major cities, Dongla and Sennar, two solar installations now power water stations serving 16,500 people, including two hospitals that can’t function without reliable water. It’s a permanent fix that doesn’t depend on fuel deliveries or functional infrastructure. Combined, our WASH program has reached 28,080 people with clean water and sanitation access.
