“At Coady and in Mikei, I hope to gain a better understanding of health, wellness, and community-driven development. I’m excited for this opportunity to challenge myself, develop my own skills and strengthen my relationships”

Dialoguing with community stakeholders, I hope to get a fuller understanding of the current situation, and engage action accordingly. This may include increasing knowledge of water rights, encouraging advocacy, and scaling up infrastructure. I also plan to introduce the low-cost BioSand filter, which can be built on site using locally sourced materials.
