Yar Mabei Jok and her family received two mattresses, a blanket, soap, two jerry cans and utensils among other items.

Nine-year-old Bol Ajok is grateful for the two tukuls—round houses—that CLWR constructed for his family. "Before we used to keep bags of rations and other items in the house—it was uncomfortable," he says. "Now we are comfortable because we have houses with good space."

Florence Dipio draws water from a borehole established in 2015 in her community of Russia East, Adjumani. It used to take at least two hours waiting in line to access water at one of two other water access points in the village and it could sometimes take between six and seven hours.
