My Nonprofit Reviews

I worked for Water Is Basic several years ago and have remained involved as a donor and friend of some of the American employees. It still amazes me how well planned, well run, and highly focused on their goals this organization is. Everything they do is approached with utmost integrity, and drips (pun intended) with respect and compassion for the people of South Sudan. A great deal of thought is put into long term impact, and when success in one area opens new doors, the leadership work to take full advantage of the new opportunities, such as training the women whose time is freed up by the new access to clean water to become well repair persons, or getting them access to education in other arenas. What started as a charity born of an essential survival need in South Sudan has begotten all that can flourish from adequate health, a gift of time and energy, and the removal of an enormous source of worry- all in a way that empowers the people of South Sudan, especially the women. I am so proud of all that Water is Basic does and has done, and am excited to see what is to come from them.
