7-year-old Madina's village in Sudan is often struck by droughts, resulting in dried water pumps. The creek was the only source of water, which was unclean & contaminated.

Thanks to UNICEF & partners, a solar-powered water system is bringing clean & safe water to the community.

Wishing everyone a successful and prosperous 2024. I'm looking forward to continuing the work to support better food and nutrition systems in South Sudan.
