2024 Walking Towards Forgiveness
For 31 years, Gilbert Tuhabonye hosts an annual Walk Towards Forgiveness: An Anniversary of Life, Love and Clean Water. The annual remembrance honors his decision to live life with joy, faith, perseverance, and forgiveness after surviving genocide. As a result, the Gazelle Foundation was created to bring life-saving clean water and hope to people in Burundi.
In remembrance of the tragic events of 1993, and to celebrate the strength in resilience of Gilbert’s 30th anniversary, we're announcing a generous match for all funds raised by our campaign up to $10,000, including monthly donations.
