Clean water is changing daily life in Kabonga.

In early February, Amazi Water completed a clean water project in Kabonga, a remote community near Burundi’s border with Tanzania, where residents previously had no access to clean water.

Families relied on Lake Tanganyika, despite the dangers. In this video, a resident recalls hippo attacks, children drowning while collecting water, and many cases of cholera.

The resident’s words capture what this project means for the community: an alternative to dangerous trips to the lake and access to water for everyday needs.

Every community deserves clean water, including those in remote areas.

Last weekend at the historic Press Hotel in downtown Portland, Maine, members of the Burundian community gathered to learn more about Amazi Water's work in Burundi. 🇧🇮💧

The evening came together thanks to Burundian community leader Steve Bijoga. After following our updates on LinkedIn, Steve was inspired to bring his community together and connect them with Amazi Water. At the gathering, our CEO, Jason Peters, shared our mission and the impact of clean water in communities across Burundi, and we were honored to enjoy traditional Burundian dances.

In this video, Steve shares what inspired him to organize the event.
Thank you, Steve, and thank you to the Burundian community in Maine for such a warm welcome. It was a beautiful reminder that home is never far away. 🙏

How do we keep water flowing even after sunset?

At our Tenga Water Project, solar panels power the pumping system during the day, while EG4 batteries store energy to keep the system running throughout the night.

Join our Chief Strategy Officer, Austin VanWyk, for an exclusive look inside the pump station and discover how sustainable energy is helping bring reliable access to clean water for communities.

At Amazi Water, we care deeply about helping healthcare facilities thrive through safe water, sanitation, and smart infrastructure - so it’s always energizing to find others doing similar work around the world.

That’s why we love what Engineering Ministries International (EMI) and leaders like Jason Chandler are doing. It’s not just about building things - it’s about creating the kind of infrastructure that actually supports long-term, sustainable care.

We’ve seen firsthand how strong engineering in WASH systems can completely change what a healthcare facility is able to do for its community. EMI brings that same mindset across everything they touch - whether it’s electrical systems, facility design, or long-term planning - all with the goal of helping healthcare programs really function well.

There’s something really encouraging about seeing this level of engineering excellence applied so thoughtfully in different countries and contexts. It’s a reminder that when technical skill is paired with a genuine commitment to people, the impact goes far beyond the physical structures - it leads to healthier, stronger communities.

Amazi Water is grateful to be part of a global network of partners like EMI who are building in ways that truly support life and health.
