Nuba Water Project was founded in 2007 by Denver businessman Steve Riley and two Sudanese refugees, George Tuto and Ibrahim Agor. George and Ibrahim, determined to help their people in the Nuba Mountains, worked with Steve to identify a focus for their work…water. In Sudan, some women and children walk up to six hours daily to fetch water that will likely make them sick. Besides preventing disease and death, providing a local source of clean water frees the women to do other daily household tasks and allows the children to go to school. The motto became “Clean Water Brings Life.”
Our work is made possible by our direct connections with key people living in the Nuba Mountains.
Nuba Water Project is not affiliated with any government or religious institution. We are a non-profit 501c3 organization committed to financial accountability at all levels of our organization.
