Virunga Water Tank Project

Although it rains heavily around Virunga Lodge, there are very few facilities for water catchment and storage and in the dry season there is an acute shortage of water. The village communities around Virunga lodge do not have enough clean water for drinking or for growing crops.

Starting in 2016, Virunga Lodge has been providing plastic water tanks to the local community and with the support of our guests, Virunga Lodge has donated 140 tanks to all households in Sunzu village. As of September 2023, 121 tanks have also been donated to families in Bugeyo village. We aim to provide a further 84 families with water tanks by the end of 2024, to ensure each home has access to a water in the village.

Click on the ‘donate’ button below to contribute $200 for one water tank to a family in Bugeyo village near Virunga Lodge.

Donate $2000 and support 10 families with a water tank.
