Health & Sanitation
Life-Saving Resources for Burundi
The Health & Sanitation Program is dedicated to providing life-saving resources and health security to vulnerable communities in Burundi. By implementing complete, sustainable solutions, the program directly addresses the root causes of disease and focuses on clean water access, hygiene education, and safe sanitation.
Key initiatives include:
- Restoring Vital Water Sources: Repairing non-functional community hand-pump wells or establishing comprehensive spring protection infrastructure, which restores reliable access to clean water for up to 400 residents.
- Preventing Illness: Constructing full, permanent handwashing stations at primary schools and launching local health education campaigns that train volunteers to teach essential hygiene practices to dozens of families.
- Improving Dignity and Safety: Funding the construction of gender- and disability-inclusive latrines at community centres or clinics.
- Ensuring Long-Term Sustainability: Dedicating funds to Water Point Maintenance and Training initiatives, empowering local water committees with technical skills and spare parts to ensure water supplies run reliably for years.
