We are pleased to announce that construction on the Songa Nyamwango water system began on August 4, 2010 and was completed in November 2010. The Songa Nyamwango water system serves 970 residents in the area.
Impact
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.
Impact
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.
