One study in Science Magazine estimated that 4 billion people don’t have clean water to access at home. That’s more than half the world’s population. In Burundi, much of the 13 million population lives in rural locations where clean water is hard to come by. Learn more about where we work.
Diseases from waterborne contaminants are a leading cause of death in Burundi. The time it takes to collect water and the devastation of poor health limits access to education, too.
Access to clean water helps break the cycle of poor health, food scarcity, and poverty. Get involved in our cause to bring hope to Burundi. Join our community committed to bringing hope to one of the poorest countries in the world.
