Gilbert Tuhabonye, Gazelle Foundation co-founder, and many luminaries from Austin’s running community share how Run For The Water got started 19 years ago and the impact it is making in rural Burundi.
Peter Rauch is the co-founder of the Gazelle Foundation and has served as President of the Board of Directors for 16 years and counting. He has selflessly given his time, talents, and financial support to not just the Gazelle Foundation, but several other charitable causes, all while raising twin daughters with his wife of 29 years! Peter truly believes clean water has the power to transform lives. Learn more about Peter

Help pass out water at Austin Marathon on Sunday, February 19, 2023. All are welcome, but you must sign up! Your participation helps the Gazelle Foundation qualify for a $10,000 matching grant from the Moody Foundation. That's right, you GIVE WATER in Austin = GIVE WATER in Burundi!
Burundi is known as “The Heart of Africa” because of its shape and location within the continent, it is also the poorest country in the world.
The Gazelle Foundation is fortunate to once again participate in Austin Marathon Gives, the philanthropic program of the Ascension Seton Austin Marathon presented by UnderArmour that connects race participants to local non-profit organizations. And it’s official, the Moody Foundation match is back for 2023.
Construction Coming Soon! We're happy to announce that the Kabigomogomo water system has been selected as the 2022 water system funded by our AMAZI For Burundi members.
