Refugee Crisis at Kuernyang - AHPSS Responds
A water well and flood resilient platform at Kuernyang, South Sudan.
As floodwaters overtook many villages in Fangak County this past September, thousands of refugees moved to higher ground. At a village called Kuernyang, the number of displaced people matched the local population. An estimated 20,000 people now living side by side on a small island. There wasn't any clean drinking water. No sanitation. It was perhaps the worst humanitarian crisis in the region.
​
When AHPSS heard about this we mobilized a response. In mid-November we first assessed the need. Then within a week we had one of our drilling teams, along with supplies for three wells, headed to Kuernyang.
​
The result is beyond amazing. Over the next few weeks AHPSS successfully drilled three new water wells. While this is not sufficient for 20,000 people, it's a start. And it's the only clean drinking water available.

They are celebrating "Alaska" at Kuernyang. With your help we brought them clean drinking water. Follow the newsletter link to read more in our December 2025 newsletter.
