Beyoncé Pledges to Build 80 Wells for 120,000 Women and Children in Burundi on World Water Day
Beyoncé is helping others celebrate World Water Day.
Since launching her BEYGOOD4BURUNDI initiative with UNICEF in 2017, the singer, 36, has provided programs to bring clean, safe drinking water to the landlocked East African nation with efforts to improve water, sanitation and basic hygiene practices for the population.
This year on March 22, Queen Bey has partnered with Gucci and Chime for Change to bring water to the children of Burundi and prevent water-borne diseases. In addition, fewer young girls will be put at risk of dangerous attacks when they walk long distances to gather water
Gucci is collaborating with Chime for Change, the brand’s global campaign co-founded by Beyoncé and actress Salma Hayek Pinault to convene, unite and strengthen the voices speaking out for girls and women around the world with focuses on education, health and justice.
In 2017 alone, 35 wells were constructed for the people of Burundi to utilize. Gucci’s $1 million commitment to the project will help support UNICEF’s goal to build 80 more wells and give 120,000 more people access to clean water.
BEYGOOD4BURUNDI is aiming to reach 475,000 children and families by 2020.
Hold onto your leather jackets – the wildest ride of 2025 is here.
Steve Blacknell – TV face, radio voice, rock PR, and the man who dated Kate Bush – is dropping his bombshell memoir Tales From The Bedroom Wall on July 9th, and it is everything. The highs? Concorde with Phil Collins to Live Aid. MTV fame. Hanging with Alice Cooper, Lemmy, and David Cassidy – often in hot tubs or backstage chaos. The lows? Addiction. Broken hearts. A speedboat explosion!
His rollercoaster love life includes a marriage to iconic ‘60s groupie Catherine James, who once lived with Mick Jaggerand was Eric Clapton’s muse. But it’s not just name-dropping. Blacknell opens up about his bulimia, lost fortunes, and his long, winding path back to the love of his life, Maggie.
With a foreword from Bill Wyman and stories that read like a rockumentary on steroids, this memoir is as outrageous and addictive as the man himself.
Available July 9th from Old Treacle Press. Rock on.
