A project scheduled for 2017–2018 funded by the German Federal Institute of Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) planned to improve the sustainable drinking water supply in the region by two solar-power borehole water pumps, with water distributed to standpipes. The Rukuramigabo borehole in Cewe zone would be rehabilitated and the network extended to the Rutare center. It would serve the 4,200 inhabitants of Cewe and Rutare. [5]
Kirundo Province is one of the eighteen provinces of Burundi, in north of the country bordering Rwanda. The economy is mostly based on agriculture, with a dispersed population and few sizable communities. Before 1970 large parts of the province were forested. Migrants from the south then cleared much of the vegetation to create agricultural land, and Kirundo became the breadbasket of Burundi. The civil war from 1993 to 2005 caused agricultural output to drop by more than half. Sice then, lack of farm inputs, poor infrastructure and shortages of water have caused widespread poverty.
