Austin High School Academy of Global Studies students fund clean water for an entire grade-level of students in Burundi.
For the eighth year in a row AGS Students donated and fundraised, and participated in a walk simulation all of which support our work of providing people in need daily access to clean water.
We are pleased to announce that construction on the Ryabitari-Gatoga water system began on May 1, 2024. Currently, there is no clean water located near the community. By abject necessity, the majority of the population relies on a primary water source that is several miles away from the community, and the water there is contaminated. When this system is complete it will provide clean water to 1,000 people
Run For The Water is made possible by the efforts of many. We want you to get to know the people who make the event possible. Tessa Madison is taking the reins for race development manager this year. She has been a key member of the Gazelle Foundation and Run For The Water for more than a decade, her tenure includes working to make the Foundation’s mission, special events, and philanthropy accessible to children and families.
💧As Gazelle Foundation celebrates World Water Day this March 22, we acknowledge that access to clean water plays a critical role in global stability and prosperity. This is why we construct clean water systems with multiple distribution points that serve rural villages, health clinics, schools, churches, and more. See the impact we are making together.
Staff at eBay contacted the Gazelle Foundation because they were looking for a sustainable, charitable project to bring clean water to a country in need. We gave them information about our process that enabled their distributed team to sponsor the construction of a water tank that supplies 4 tap stands including the ones at Musenyi Primary School in Burundi.
Spring For The Water is one of the signature events for the Gazelle Foundation in its mission to bring more clean water to Burundi. Learn more about co-founder Gilbert Tuhabonye and how you can get involved.
