Sr Cecile from the congregation of Immaculate Heart of Mary (Bene Maria) in Burundi has contacted the Hope Tree Group to assist with installing new water tanks at the hostel where students stay to attend school. At the moment, they are collecting water from the river and transporting back to the hostel to use. You may remember that we assisted the children by supplying new mattresses in the hostel.
The Hope Tree Group is hoping to donate $1800 for two new tanks to be installed. Cash donations can be left in the donation box at each church or donate online by clicking HERE and scroll to the details for Hope Tree Group.
Below is a photo of the water tank they are currently using; the students in class; and some students washing their clothes.
