Water for the community garden
Footings for community garden water tower under construction.
We have begun work on a project which combines fighting food insecurity with providing clean drinking water. Four acres of land given to Alaska Health Project South Sudan for a community garden, will soon have a water tower and irrigation system. The footings for the tower are under construction.
By the end of September 2026, we hope to have the tower and related irrigation system completed. Outside the garden will be water taps for the community to access clean drinking water. Inside the fenced garden will be an irrigation system so that during the dry season there will be water for the garden. This garden area will be primarily for refugees who have been driven from their homes by flooding or internal conflict. It will be a place to grow food to feed their families.
