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.

Progress Deserves The Spotlight

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.

Project Updates

Rugomero-Nyamuhanga Water System #30

Rugomero-Nyamuhanga Water System #30

Construction on the Rugomero-Nyamuhanga water system is complete. When access to clean water helps eliminate water-borne illnesses, children are sick less, which allows them to attend school on a more regular basis. With shortened walking distances, they spend less time gathering and carrying water to their homes. Access to clean water along the route to school and at the school house keeps children clean and hydrated throughout the day, increasing their ability to learn.

We are pleased to announce that construction on the Rugomero-Nyamuhanga water system began in April 2016, and finished in July 2016. Learn more about this water system.
