The purpose and power of Global Run For The Water
Greta is in 5th grade and lives in rural Rumeza, Burundi. For most of her life, her day centered around carrying water from local streams to her family’s home, a two-mile round trip that she made up to three times a day, all while carrying a 40-pound water jug. Needless to say, this left time for little else, including Greta’s education.
Students who were able to attend school in Greta’s area were often late to class or missed school due to illness. The floors of the classrooms were dirty, and students had a hard time focusing on the curriculum in class and at home.
Then the Gazelle Foundation completed a clean-water project near Greta’s home. This project provides clean water to 1, 200 of Greta’s classmates and their families. With easily accessible, clean water nearby, Greta and her classmates no longer have to make the trek to collect water for their families. Less time needed to gather water meant more time available for attending school. Learn more about the work you make possible.
There’s Still Time to register and have an impact
Each registration in Global Run For The Water directly funds sustainable water system development in Burundi. Due to the unique nature of the Gazelle Foundation’s structure and in-country partners, the cost to build water systems is lower than average. Learn more about how we do it.
You run, we dig!
Join us, registration is open until November 8, 2020!
