Explore Burundi: Akazehe greetings are part of the rich oral tradition of Burundi, which relays history and stories through the spoken word, poetry, and song. The akazehe turns a simple daily greeting into an interwoven, call and response musical form. It has a poetic quality, elevating a simple courtesy into an almost ceremonial act.
We have the best supporters in the world, and over the next few months, we’ll be sharing your stories of everyday people making an outsized difference around the globe through their commitment and generosity. You’ve inspired others by giving the gift of clean water. Now it’s our turn to shine the light on you.
