Austin High School Academy of Global Studies students fund clean water for 10 classrooms in Burundi. For the ninth year, students donated, fundraised, and participated in a walk simulation all of which support the Gazelle Foundation’s mission to provide people in Burundi daily access to clean water.
With this new year, we are pleased to share changes to our board of directors. Welcome new board members Suellen Carson and Ashish Patel.
We extend our deepest thanks to exiting board members, Andi Gillentine and Paula McCaul whose efforts have made a profound impact on thousands of lives in Burundi. Families are healthier, sanitation and hygiene are boosted, and the risk of water-borne infectious diseases is reduced. Rather than spending hours collecting water, children are healthy and able to attend school. Paula has generously agreed to serve as co-chair of 2025 Spring For The Water Gala, and both Andi and Paula have generously agreed to serve on our Advisory Committee.
Close, access to clean water is a treasure. From it, flows joy and so much hope.
We’ve repeated these steps over 18 years proving our process works. With your help 9,650 more individuals gained permanent access to clean water in 2024. See the powerful impact of your donations, event attendance, and partnerships by watching our video>>
