Rwamagana, December 14, 2024 – The Europe Today: The Heydar Aliyev Foundation has addressed a critical need for clean drinking water in Africa by supplying a school in Rwamagana, Rwanda, with a sustainable water source. The initiative is part of the Foundation’s broader “Development of Education and Culture in African Countries” project, aimed at improving living standards and education across the continent.
A water well was dug at the school, capable of providing approximately 3 tons of clean drinking water per hour, marking a transformative change for the local community, which previously depended solely on rainwater for their needs.
Vice-President Leyla Aliyeva Visits Rwanda
Leyla Aliyeva, Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, visited the school as part of her trip to Rwanda. During her visit, she engaged with students, introducing them to the culture and traditions of Azerbaijan. The students also had the opportunity to enjoy traditional Azerbaijani cuisine, fostering cultural exchange and understanding.
Impact on the Local Community
The installation of the water well not only addresses immediate water scarcity but also underscores the Foundation’s commitment to sustainable development and education. This effort is expected to improve the health and educational outcomes of students and the surrounding community, highlighting the Foundation’s dedication to humanitarian initiatives on a global scale.
The Heydar Aliyev Foundation’s project in Rwanda is another testament to Azerbaijan’s active role in addressing pressing global challenges through impactful and culturally enriching initiatives.
