Aqua Africa
Turning on a faucet is easy. Fetching water from miles away just to survive is not. Since 2011, Aqua-Africa has drilled twenty-two wells in South Sudan and constructed two water towers, and as a result saved residents thousands of collective hours manually transporting water. In the villages we’ve touched, those hours are now spent attending school, growing crops, and organizing elections. Our workshop programs lead to healthier, more sustainable communities. We start by providing access to clean water. Because without water, nothing can grow. Buey Tut was born in South Sudan in a small village called Maiwut. Along with his family, Buey immigrated to the United States as a refugee at the age of 11. While attending University of Nebraska Omaha, he and his childhood friend, Co-Founder Jacob Khol, decided they wanted to help their homeland. They founded Aqua-Africa with plans to transform the way in which aid is administered to underdeveloped nations. He'll tell us about Aqua-Africa on October 23.
