 I'm called Rose Kaguwa from Uganda and I'm an industrial chemist by profession but working for the last 24 years with a water utility, serving in different capacities starting as a water quality analyst and now growing up into leadership and heading one of the directors. Starting as a young girl and having a passion for sciences, at one point you would wonder whether you've made the right career choice, serving in an organization for 24 years without moving but beginning to see the impacts that you have in terms of service delivery for water and sanitation helps you know that every day you wake up you're actually serving and it's a God-given job to give and provide to people what they really need. Coming from Africa where as many people may not know many women spend half that day and children fetching water, carrying it on their heads, looking for places for decent sanitation, when you can contribute to that change it overwhelms me and the award is so meaningful especially at this time as we are looking at the SDGs and trying like in Uganda the target that the government has said for us is that by 2020 it should be 100% coverage for water and you know that it's a tall order but basically we cannot do it without the women. We need to bring them in at all levels and this award also inspires us to continue contributing as women to the sector and knowing that we have a very big role to play.
