Founder's Story

This deserves way more views then it has, I just read “a long walk to water” in school and this topic interested me so much I researched more about salva. I know he will probably never read this but if he ever does know that my school reads a book about your story every year and we all think you are an amazing person!

Hi! It's really hard to say. Over 1 million copies have been sold but schools across the country and world read the book. Many teachers use the book as part of their curriculum for several years.

I just listened to your story from my daughter reading it for the 2nd time, in school.
What you went through as a young man is truly amazing!
I think it is inspiring that you are helping others in your country!
My other daughter currently attends Monroe Community College!
It is such a big...yet small world!
Amazing life, amazing work!❤👍

I just finished reading ‘A long walk to water’, and his story his astonishing. He spent most of his life in Sudan running away from his war-torn village. What he’s doing for Sudan is amazing. He built over 250-300 wells helping his people in so many different ways. Children are now able to go to school, girls don’t have to walk 8 hours every day, and there’s clean water accessible for almost everyone. I’m so happy he stuck to Uncle Jewiir’s words, and preserved through the horrid things he went through.

That's great! Salva lives in Uganda now, so he doesn't really follow U.S. sports.

Who came here from reading the book in school?

[@pessi.isgoat288]

can anyone explain what "the bush" is?

[@waterforsouthsudan]

The "bush" could also be considered the "woods," "forest," or "wilderness." It's basically an uninhabited area.

[@pessi.isgoat288]
