$1 Million from Gucci! Beyonce’s BeyGOOD Charity Received large donation.
Gucci is partnering with Beyonce in an effort to provide clean drinking water to Burundians.
Beyonce unveiled plans for the BeyGOOD 4 Burundi, in July of last year. The nation of Burundi is currently plagued by a shortage of clean drinking water, nearly half the nation have no access whatsoever. The initiative hopes to also teach basic hygienic practices in a effort to curb disease and malnutrition in the East African country. As of this writing, the foundation has already built 35 wells in the country alone. Gucci’s donation comes in the way of their CHIME FOR CHANGE initiative, founded in 2013 as a treatise meant to “convene, unite and strengthen the voices speaking out for girls and women around the world.”
You can read about the campaign here. The website offers an easy-to-read description of the situation in Burundi, as well as a sign-up brochure, and a link for public donations.
Beyoncé’s BEYGOOD4BURUNDI, UNICEF, and now Gucci and CHIME FOR CHANGE have joined forces to help bring safe water to the most vulnerable women and children in the “Heart of Africa.” Burundi is one of the most densely populated countries in Africa with nearly half of the population lacking access to clean, safe drinking water.
With your help, nearly half a million people will gain access to safe water, as BEYGOOD4BURUNDI, UNICEF, Gucci and CHIME FOR CHANGE will support building water supply systems for healthcare facilities and schools, and the drilling of boreholes, wells and springs to bring safe water to districts.
The first 35 wells have now been completed, and BEYGOOD4BURUNDI is set to reach 366,000 women and children by 2020.
