Thank you for your support of Come Together For The Water, our first-ever virtual event. We raised $64,325 and counting! This means that two water projects are fully funded which will keep local project workers employed, and will supply people in Burundi with clean water. Access to clean water is always essential, but now more than ever it is vital for good health. Thanks to supporters like you, life will be a little bit easier for children and families in Burundi.
Your support will help more families like Ndayikeza Gorath’s, who is pictured below. She says:
“Thank you very much for providing water to our community. We used to get sick a lot drinking dirty water. We are excited to have clean water close to our homes because we will be able to wash hands; it’s the best way to fight Coronavirus.”
You can learn more about the Nyarumanga-Musagara-Kibirizi water system and how it helps Ndayikeza’s community. Your support through Come Together For The Water will help more communities like hers, providing clean water to those that need it most.
