When a water system is complete residents including the kids and adults shown here have daily access to as much clean water as they need. Clean water saves lives. It gives communities more time to grow food, earn an income and go to school—all of which fight poverty. Thank you for being the kind of people who not only believe in a world where everyone has access to clean water, but take action to make it happen. 🔗Learn more: gazellefoundation.org/ . . . . #gazellefoundation #springforthewater #runforthewater #servantleadership #giving #livingforimpact #Austin #ATX #austinnonprofit #charity #gooddeed #bethechange #austincommunity

The average Burundian walks 3 miles for clean water. To simulate the daily journey of many Burundians. We invite three teams to walk the #runforthewater 5K route trading off carrying duty of water jugs that weigh 30-40 lbs. Gilbert Tuhabonye, co-founder of Gazelle Foundation tells the story often: As a boy growing up in Burundi, he walked atleast 3 miles every day to fill a jug at a river with drinking water for his family. So did all of his friends and classmates. All that walking and hauling took it's toll: Exhausted kids at school, disease spread by people drinking unsanitary water, time that could be spent more productively consumed by filling and carrying jugs. . A Gazelle Foundation water system reduces the distance to clean safe water from 3 miles to 400 meters. . "Walking with the water reminded me how easy we have it here in Austin. Most of us walk only a few steps to the nearest sink or spigot, where a flick of the handle delivers clean, fresh water. It's hard to imagine anything else." -- Pam LeBlanc, Carry Water Team Member 2017 & 2018 . . If you're already registered you're already changing lives through access to clean water.
