We’re In! Gazelle Foundation Selected for Austin Marathon Gives

We’re back for another year of marathon miles that matter.

Gazelle Foundation is once again an official charity partner of Austin Marathon Gives, bringing Team Gazelle to the 2027 Austin Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K on February 14, 2007

Since 2017, Gazelle Foundation X Austin Marathon has gone the distance:

420 runners
$186,000 raised
6,200 people given a lifetime of clean water

Now, we’re ready to build on that momentum.

Ngarambe Kidaseba Water System #80

Ngarambe Kidaseba Water System #80

Construction on the Ngarambe-Kidaseba water system kicked off September 28, 2026. Over the next 15 weeks, local teams will build a new system providing 800 people with permanent, nearby access to clean water.

Today, families walk several miles to collect contaminated water. Soon, clean water will be close to home.

Mwivomo-Murangara Water System #79

Mwivomo-Murangara Water System #79

Water system #79 is officially underway. Fully funded by Alvin Chee in honor of his parents, Bill and Dorothy Chee, the Mwivomo–Murangara system will bring clean water closer to approximately 900 people, including 120 members of Murangara Pentecost Church—shortening the distance people travel for water and bringing a reliable source closer to the places they live, gather and worship.

Success Is In The preparation

Success Is In The preparation

Preparation for water system construction in rural Burundi takes planning. Find out all the steps that are taken before construction kicks off. Our local project manager partners directly with those who will benefit from the water system. Local residents are hired to help build the system, and community members volunteer to maintain each part of the system. These measures ensure the water system will operate for years.
