Guest speaker - James Madhier. 

James is originally from South Sudan, where he lived until the age of 15 before relocating to Kakuma Refugee Camp in northern Kenya during the Sudanese civil war. In the camp, James worked with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) as a humanitarian field interpreter, delivering direly needed services to vulnerable asylum seekers and refugees.

James’ resilience and forward-thinking mindset powered him through the war and forced displacement. Having started his first business at age 10, James brings the same ingenuity today to developing systemic and innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges, including climate change and the resulting water crisis. His experiences have driven him to seek and build sustainable, lasting and empowering solutions.
