Even as a young girl, I wanted to change this situation. That was one of my motivations to work for the WASH sector through enrollment in various WASH related trainings and mentoring sessions as well as focusing on WASH sector. In my work today, it is an advantage to be able to empathise with life in rural areas, where access to water and good sanitation is a major problem. I can use my experience to talk to communities about their participation in change.
My work is very varied; I help plan and implement projects, monitor progress, and promote networking between WHH and other organizations and local governments in Uganda. I have gained more and more expertise and am developing WASH within our organisation, drafting guidelines and recommendations, and disseminating them to various stakeholders at national and local level. Last November, the country director of Welthungerhilfe, a colleague and I were invited by the Vice President of Uganda, Jessica Alupo. She expressed her great appreciation for our work, which really motivated us.
