We are pleased to announce that construction on Sovu-Rogongo water system #76 began on October 28, 2025 and was completed February 6, 2026. 950 people in the community now have have daily access to clean water.

Construction on the Murwindara-Mugano Water System #72 in Burundi began on September 1, 2024 and was completed in December 2024. This system was funded by our sustaining donor community AMAZI For Burundi. A contaminated water source several miles away is what the community is relying on for water. The new system will provide water to 1,300 residents.
We are pleased to announce that construction on the Ryabitari-Gatoga water system began on May 1, 2024, and was completed on July 25, 2024. At the outset, there was no clean water located near the community. By abject necessity, the majority of the population relies on a primary water source that is several miles away from the community, and the water there is contaminated. The system now provides clean water to 1,000 residents.
Construction on the Kabuki-Mwurire water system is complete.
We are pleased to announce that construction on the Kabuki-Mwurire water system #69 began on February 1, 2024 and was completed 1 week early. It serves 1,400 people, including 150 members of the Mwurire Anglican Church.
The water system was made possible through a generous donation from Alvin Chee in honor of his parents Bill and Dorothy Chee.
Thanks to our 2023 AMAZI for Burundi donors, construction on the Kiriza-Gisisye Extension water system began on December 18, 2023. Our sustaining donor community is named for its purpose; Amazi means water in Kirundi, the local language.
The system was completed on February 7, 2024.
