We are so grateful to share about an opportunity we leveraged engaging with a team from Oxfam International. We (Grace Nakibaala, Pedal Tap Innovation Lead and Timothy Kayondo Lead Innovator on the Water Purification Innovation) were invited to take part in a physical engagement with Oxfam International. Our engagement was guided by the theme: Shaping the Agenda for Oxfam’s WASH Leadership in the HECA region. The engagementtook place in Arua, West Nile region of Uganda from Monday 12th to Friday 16th March 2018. It also involved an exhibition in which we fully participated in, it was enriching to benefit from an opportunity to verbally yet physically share about our innovations.
Additionally, it was fulfilling to present our innovations, describe how we initially came up with the ideas, how RAN has helped us to incubate, finance, offer mentorship for further growth, among others and how far we have reached and benefitted the targeted communities such as institutions, hospitals, schools, refugee camps, households and business minded people among others. After the presentation, many people were impressed and interested in our innovations, and requested us to further engage and share with them more about what we were doing and how we are doing it.
