Dear Water Champions
It is with great delight that I announce that not one but TWO of our local trainers/team members from Uganda and Kenya are going to be in the Bay Area! We are so lucky to have Godliver Businge, GWWI Head Tech Trainer and Rose Wamalwa, GWWI Regional Coordinator for Kenya/Tanzania with us. Godliver Businge, who was featured in Reuters and can build literally ANYTHING, is here on her first visit to the United States having been invited to speak at her first international event in Boston. Rose Wamalwa, named one of the 8 African Women Water Leaders to Watch alongside two African presidents by WASH Advocates, is currently on a 6 month fellowship as one of 50 of the IREX Community Solutions Fellows sponsored by the US State Department selected from over 1000 candidates from all over the world.
If you wanted to learn more about our work you can hear it straight from the women who are coordinating and training our grassroots women in three countries in East Africa. It's hard to imagine that neither of these women had ever had this kind of recognition or exposure (or traveled out of their country) until they went through our Women and Water Training program.
Here is their current speaking schedule. We would be honored if you could join us and meet them in person!
