Part 2 of a 3 part series. Board member, Michael Madison has traveled to Burundi eight times over the last 15 years to help the Gazelle Foundation build clean water systems. His presence in the country has established relationships that keep Foundation projects moving forward and has earned him the unofficial role as the Foundation’s Ambassador to Burundi.
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.
Construction on the Manyoni water system began February 15, 2015 with an estimated completion date of May 2015. You made this possible! The Manyoni water system is our 19th project overall
Giving water to someone is something we can do to alter their trajectory to save lives provide hope and a future.
