POUL DUE JENSEN FOUNDATION WATER Safe water for Northern Burundi | Phase 2 In 2017, the Foundation financed a project providing safe drinking water to patients of Marembo Health Centre and to the population of two close villages, Bunyari and Sigu, with a population of 850 and 740 people. In 2019, the Poul Due Jensen Foundation granted further 1 million EUR towards an expansion of of the programme. Phase 2 was planned to run for 16 months as of May 2020 and was planned to benefit 36-54,000 people in 8-12 villages, including 10 health centres and 13 schools in Bugabira, Kirundo and Busoni communes, who would experience a reduced rate of waterborne diseases. The project revisited the sites of Phase 1 and worked with all of the communities to ensure efficient and integrated management of the water infrastructure. We have installed remote monitoring in all water systems to follow the systems’ performance and the groundwater level. Due to the Corona Pandemic, the project was delayed and Phase 2 is expected to be finalised in the first quarter of 2021. 11
