Beyoncé supports cause for safe domestic water supply to Burundi

Grammy winner and Formation singer Beyoncé has teamed up with UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund) to raise fund for the international organisation’s efforts to provide portable drinking water for the people of Burundi. The star raised awareness for the initiative, known as #BEYGOOD4BURUNDI via a Twitter message: “Mothers in Burundi want to provide clean, safe water for their children. Let’s help them, together: http://www.beyonce.com/beygood4burundi/ … #BEYGOOD4BURUNDI.”

Interestingly, this is the first Twitter post of Beyoncé in over a year and her first social media post since giving birth to twins.

“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 and UNICEF 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.”
