Safe Drinking Water
Water:
Sudan's Blue Nile region is rich in natural resources, but civil war and lack of investment have left
it in poverty. IR is providing safe drinking water and improving sanitation
facilities in the area. This section contains photos of wells dug by IR in the Blue Nile region.
Education
Education: The long civil war destroyed education in the Blue Nile.
Warring parties often used schools as military bases and left them in ruins. IR is building new schools in
the Blue Nile and restoring derelict schools.
Geissan Hospital
Geissan Hospital: IR was one of the first aid agencies to work in the Blue Nile
region after the civil war ended. The years of isolation and conflict left hospitals in the region derelict.
This section contains images of the Geissan hospital before and after it was rehabilitated by IR.
