About Our Special Guest

 

Jessy M Samuyachi has over 9 years of progressive experience in World Vision in Monitoring and Evaluation and 4 years working in the WASH sector. She was instrumental in successfully supporting the implementation of an education program which focused on advocacy which aimed at creating a conducive environment for learners and teachers. Jessy joined the WASH team in 2019 and supported the program during the critical time of the pandemic. Her role in the pandemic included assessing all the isolation and quarantine centres had adequate WASH services. Jessy has been key to the success of the WASH program in developing the WASH Business Plan for FY21-25 which included the mWater mapping of all WASH infrastructure in World Vision operation areas. She was awarded as a Global mWater Champion as she successfully supported the implementation and adoption of mWater in Zambia. She has been able to represent World Vision at different forums and conferences which include The WaterNet Symposiums, Global WASH Forums, All Systems Connect Conference and supported other National Offices.

We are grateful Jessy will be able to join us at the walk this year and share about the work is being done.
