Striving For Positive Change and Impact

Looking to shift your perspective? Hear Gilbert Tuhabonye, foundation co-founder and Janvier Nahimana, discuss a wide range of topics including Muhammad Ali, overcoming obstacles, running to clear the mind, the power of compassion and forgiveness, and what clean water means to communities in Burundi.

Nahimana immigrated to Canada from Burundi. He started Mutcho Radio to build community and connect people from different walks of life. We think this conversation will inspire you.

I did it for someone in Burundi... really that’s the meaning of forgiveness and compassion...This chapter that I’m on now is something I’m really, really proud of. To see the transformation of society. It brings such joy.
— Gilbert Tuhabonye

Why Clean Water Matters

Clean water is foundational to reversing the cycle of poverty. In Burundi, one of the poorest countries in the world, waterborne illnesses are the leading cause of death and the majority of the population live in rural, mountainous areas that are difficult to access. For a community there, clean water means better health, stronger community, jobs, education, and most of all: hope. Learn more about the Gazelle Foundation and why water matters.
