The Gukic Primary School is located in the village Gukic which is in the Ringmamer Boma of the Mangok Payam in Aweil East in South Sudan. The school has 450 pupils; 305 boys and 145 girls. The borehole well we are building will provide water to the school and 15 neighboring villages, providing water to 2900 people. These statistics have been verified by cross-checking them with the figures taken during the recent elections.

The school has only 5 teachers, and it was established by the government in 1996. The school has 12 orphans and 5 special needs children. The current closest source of safe drinking water is a local river and the school has no toilets at all so the entire school is defecating in the open near to the school. They urgently need fresh water and real toilets.
