“Everybody deserves clean water.” -Gilbert Tuhabonye
Gilbert says, water is the number one issue in Africa. Water is everywhere - but it is not clean. Burundi is one of the poorest countries in the world, and the leading cause of death is from preventable, waterborne diseases.
Clean water is the foundation for improved health, better educational opportunities, safer communities, and economic investment. Most of all, it provides hope to a country mostly forgotten by the world.
