Annette Huber-Lee: From the Stockholm Environment Institute, Ms. Huber-Lee will share her extensive experience working with Palestinians, Israelis, and Jordanians on the crucial issue of shared water resources in the Middle East. She will discuss her lifelong journey since 1995 and her powerful vision of water as a vehicle for peace.

Pauline Egan: From FACE Africa, Ms. Egan will focus on the profound impact of water justice in Africa, showcasing how access to clean water and sanitation transforms lives and communities not only through improvement of health and life-expectancy, but also through creating more opportunities for youth and women’s leadership, and through resolving generational conflicts within the rural community context.

Nancy Murray: From the Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine. will address the urgent issue of water injustice in Palestine. Her presentation will examine the inequitable distribution of water resources and how water is used as a tool to disempower Palestinian communities.

Olga Dernova: Representing the Tufts University Chapter of Engineers Without Borders, Olga, Environmental Engineering student, will share about a real-life project in Nicaragua, and discuss the tangible impact of engineering solutions on the lives of those they serve.
