Presented by James Harrington, CEO and Founder, Ugandan Water Project

In this lecture James Harrington shares how the Ugandan Water Project partners with local leaders to bring reliable, sustainable water solutions to communities across Uganda. With one in five Ugandans facing severe water shortages, and many spending over 30 minutes each day walking to a protected water source, the lack of water access leads to lost time, lost education, and higher health risks. James will discuss how rainwater collection systems, borehole wells, water filters, and household connections are transforming daily life and generating new opportunities for families to learn, work, and thrive. Drawing from years of on-the-ground experience, he will explore how collaborative development, local empowerment, and long-term sustainability intersect to break cycles of poverty and create lasting change.
