Abstract

Almost half of Burundi’s female population lack access to clean and safe drinking water. This situation remains a big challenge, particularly for households in Africa at large, and in Burundi in particular. As the world’s population rapidly grows, households are increasingly in need of safe and clean water. Therefore, it is significant that women have access to clean and safe drinking water for household use. Reports have shown that women and young girls are the major water collectors, and they must walk a long distance to collect water from water sources in Burundi. As a result of this, some women and girls are unable to complete their education, arrive at school late, and have a high rate of unemployment. This has restricted the capacity of women to build a strong education and work environment for themselves, particularly in the most impoverished areas of Burundi. Therefore, little is known about the sources of water for household use.
