Every Village meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.
Stated Purpose:
Every Village exists to bring glory to God through the transformation of every village in South Sudan by the spread of the gospel and community development.
Year, State Incorporated:
2001, TX
Also Known As:
Aid Sudan
1) Short-Term Mission Teams: Short-term teams go into new areas of South Sudan—initiating relationships, providing community training, and completing survey work.
2) WATER PROGRAM: Every Village (EV) continued to expand its community-based water well maintenance program called the Sustainable Water Cooperative (SWC). Toward that end, EV held four more pump mechanic certification courses certifying 60 pump mechanics. EV also held three water committee conferences with 805 to bring communities together to discuss important issues relating to the local water sector. EV signed 411 SWC community agreements. These are annual contracts with a community's established water committee. The committee collects household fees and makes payment. Every Village then assigns one of the certified pump mechanics to that SWC community to do monthly pump checks. If a water well needs maintenance or repair, the pump mechanics collect spare parts from EV's inventory and EV staff travel to the community with the mechanic to oversee the repair. In FY25, the SWC program managed 690 well repairs for a total cost of $88,205. Total income received from SWC contracts in FY25 was $46,684, which means that 53% of all water services were covered by community funding.
3) Long-Term Missionaries: Long-term missionaries empower South Sudanese to be leaders in a church planting movement, engaging them with training and discipleship. In 2015, Every Village built the missionary compound in Tonj and had a total of eleven missionaries throughout the year.
4) RADIO PROGRAM: Every Village continued operating five radio stations which cover a total population of over 3 million people. EV also sent out another 9,083 solar radios fixed-tuned to our frequencies bringing our all-time total radios distributed to 181,083. Whenever EV brings radios, they are sold to the South Sudanese for a small price to increase local ownership and involve the South Sudanese church in partnership. Some radios are always held back to be given at no cost to the most vulnerable. From FY25's shipment, the South Sudanese paid $12,454 to purchase radios.
EV also holds annual listener campaigns asking the South Sudanese to make donations to the ongoing operations of their stations. From the FY25 campaigns, EV radio stations received 29,638 individual donations for over $4,000. This financial partnership with the South Sudanese church means that 21% of daily radio operations were funded by the local communities.
5) DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM: Through the Discipleship Program, EV seeks to invest deeply in pastoral leadership so pastors can build healthy churches. Toward that end, EV entered a new partnership with HaMoreh to begin bible institutes in Aweil and Mvolo. EV also hosted three more pastor conferences with 1,239 church leaders in attendance across all denominations. These conferences bring church leaders together in a unique way that is foundational to establishing a vision for reaching the nation for Christ. EV partners with the Jesus Film to host showings in local languages alongside community pastors. EV outreach teams held 109 showings of the Jesus Film with 64,215 in attendance, which led to 14,416 individuals making commitments to Christ and connecting to their community pastor for follow-up. Finally, EV continued the partnership with Awana International to launch weekly Bible clubs for kids. EV held four church leader trainings with 427 volunteers representing 263 Bible clubs in attendance.
