in 2018, 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.

Not far from Rumeza, at Kagogabo Primary and Secondary schools, students also benefited from the implementation of a Gazelle Foundation clean water system. Prior to 2013, the students at the school literally had to climb down and back up a mountainside to a river to access water.
