Gazelle Foundation The Gazelle Foundation builds clean water projects in Burundi, Africa and empowers central Texas yout Please help us help others.

Burundi is routinely ranked as one of the poorest countries in the world and most rural Burundians walk an average of 3-5 miles twice a day to collect unclean water shared by livestock. By bringing clean water to rural communities, the Gazelle Foundation greatly improves personal health, increases school attendance and helps break the cycle of poverty. It costs an average of $30 to provide one person in Burundi with clean water for the rest of their life.

đź’§ Water System #80 is officially underway!

Construction has begun on the Ngarambe-Kidaseba water system in rural Burundi. Over the next 15 weeks, local workers will build a system that will bring 800 people permanent, nearby access to clean water.

Today, families in this community walk several miles to collect contaminated water. Soon, clean water will be close to home.

We’ll be sharing photos, progress and milestones along the way as System #80 takes shape.

“Please allow us to applaud you.” Look at these faces, hear the celebration. The joy. The hope. The gratitude.

Every trench dug, pipe laid, every tap stand flowing says something more than clean water is here.

It says: we care about your life. We care about your health. We care about your future.

And to see that care received with such joy and gratitude is profoundly humbling. Your support, your time, your belief in this work—it matters. it is doing so much good.

Clean water saves lives. And you help make it possible.

This applause is for you. 💙💧 Gilbert Tuhabonye

Gratitude has a remarkable way of bringing people together.

Research suggests that gratitude can improve well-being, strengthen relationships, and help us become more resilient. But perhaps its greatest impact is how it connects us to one another.

At Gazelle Foundation we witness that connection every day.

Families in Burundi express profound gratitude for the supporters who make clean water possible. In return, many of those same supporters tell us that being part of this mission has changed their own lives.

Compassion has a way of coming full circle. When we care for others, we all become richer for it.

🩵What are you grateful for today?

Twenty years ago, a simple question changed everything.

What if we could help?

The answer flows through miles of pipeline and tap stands, bringing life-saving clean water to people across rural Burundi.

Behind every mile of pipeline is a community that chose to help.

This month, we’re sharing stories of the people, moments, and progress behind that answer—from 20 years of Run For The Water to the latest milestones in Burundi.

Thank you for being part of the answer. Your support is helping more people gain access to safe, reliable water.

Every donation helps bring life-saving clean water to families in Burundi.

In Mahwa, families sang, thanked God, and celebrated because clean water is finally flowing close to their homes. One community member shared, "To have clean water close to our homes is a miracle."

Thank you for making moments like this possible. Every donation brings life-saving clean water, renewed hope, and the joy of knowing another community has been transformed. đź’™

One photo. One child. One tap stand.

Clean water is becoming part of everyday life.

This child is collecting water from a tap stand that's already serving the Musinzira-Mahwa community in Burundi. While construction continues, families are already benefiting from clean water closer to home.

As of July 6, construction is 72% complete:
đź’§ 5 of 8 water tanks completed
đź’§ 8 of 15 tap stands completed
đź’§ Approximately 13 km of trenches dug
đź’§ Approximately 7 km of pipeline connected

Every construction milestone brings this community one step closer to a completed water system—and every completed tap stand means more families have access to clean water.

We're grateful to everyone who makes this work possible.

New month. Second half of the year. New faces finding us every day.

So if we’re meeting for the first time — hi. We’re the Gazelle Foundation.👋

We’re on a mission to make sure families in Burundi Africa have reliable access to clean water close to home.

We believe clean water changes everything.

We believe in sustainable solutions, not short-term fixes.

We believe in transparency, which is why you can follow the progress of our work all the way down to the GPS coordinates of the systems we build.đź“Ť

And we believe that one person can make a difference.

Since 2006, supporters like you have helped us provide daily access to clean water for more than 144,000 people.

Right now, two more are under construction, that will give 8,000 new people a lifetime of clean water. 🩵

Every trench dug, every pipe laid, and every tap connected moves us closer to a future where clean water is available close to home for every child, every family, every day.

The second half of 2026 starts now — and we’re excited for what’s next.🪏💧

Because success isn't measured when construction crews leave. It's measured years later, when clean water is still flowing.

That's why local leadership matters.

Meet Jean Bosco Ndabaniwe, the Gazelle Foundation's onsite project manager in Burundi, who is currently overseeing two water systems under construction: the Kabizi–Butwe Renovation and Extension project and the Musinzira-Mahwa Water System.

At Kabizi–Butwe, existing infrastructure is being strengthened and expanded with new water sources, storage capacity, and distribution lines. At Musinzira-Mahwa, a new system is taking shape that will bring clean water closer to home for thousands of people.

By hiring local workers and building local expertise during construction, communities are prepared to maintain and manage their systems long after completion.

It's one reason the Gazelle Foundation continues to maintain a 100% success rate across our water systems.

Clean water infrastructure is important. Local ownership is what makes it last.
