The cost to build a water tank is $2000. This fundraiser is for the remaining $800 needed to build the tank. 



In November 2014, we finished building the second water tank for a community in Kamakara, Burundi. Our partner in Burundi, Imagine Terimbere (Terimbere means "Go Forward" in Kirundi), hired local workers in the community to build the tank. Each tank holds 1500 gallons of rain water for drinking, providing water for 300 people. A third tank will provide water for an additional 300 people in Kamakara, relieving the burden of women and children who collect water from the river each day.

How Will Funds Be Used?

The funds we raise will be used to hire local labor to collect rocks and cut them into blocks for the tank, to purchase mortar for the blocks, to purchase piping for the tank, to build the tank and to build a rain catchment system to fill the tank.
