Watch The Journey Behind Every Drop and see how a water system goes from careful planning to clean water flowing throughout a community.
See the smiles. Hear the celebration. When clean water reaches a community in Burundi, the gratitude is profound—and so is the reminder of what your support makes possible.
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.
Lasting change doesn't happen all at once. It happens one tank, one pipeline, one tap stand, and one day at a time. See the latest construction progress as two new water systems move closer to completion.
Thinking about Run For The Water? Past participants share their best advice for tackling the hills, finding your community, and making the most of race day. Plus, every registration includes Coach Gilbert Tuhabonye's complimentary 10-week training plan. Join us November 8.
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.
