Eric Wei and Chelsea Inglis at Majipreneur Summit
📍 Kampala, Uganda 

The Majipreneur Summit is named after maji, the Swahili word for water. Eric Wei and Chelsea Inglis attended as representatives of both Global Water Center and Carbon 4 Safe Water (C4SW). 

Hosted by CEWAS and supported by the Hilton Foundation, the summit brought together entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and government leaders to explore innovative financing strategies and women-led initiatives in the WASH sector. Eric and Chelsea introduced C4SW’s new Carbon Aggregator Platform (CAP)—a collaborative approach designed to help safe drinking water project developers access carbon markets by combining efforts and sharing resources. 

With Uganda facing a $1.3 billion annual funding gap in the water sector, they explained how carbon financing can play a vital role in closing that gap. The CAP program also includes an accelerator course to equip developers with the training and tools needed to navigate the carbon credit journey from project registration to credit sale. 

Thank you, Eric and Chelsea, for helping drive forward the conversation on blended finance and climate-smart water solutions in Uganda and beyond. 

Tiffany Runyan and Thessali Teague at Skoll World Forum
📍 Oxford, England 

Tiffany and Thessali were in Oxford during the Skoll World Forum, a global gathering of changemakers, social entrepreneurs, and thought leaders working to solve the world’s most pressing challenges. 

Alongside the main forum, they participated in The Sidebar and Marmalade events, which are spaces intentionally designed to spark collaboration, creativity, and connection. From powerful sessions to impromptu conversations, the week offered a refreshing blend of insight and inspiration. Tiffany and Thessali especially enjoyed sharing about Global Water Center’s Solar Powered Water Systems courses as well as our exciting new carbon credit program, Carbon 4 Safe Water.  

Tiffany and Thessali returned energized by the collective passion, innovative ideas, and shared commitment to impact. Events like Skoll reaffirm the importance of community-driven solutions—and the power of showing up, listening well, and learning together. 

Thank you, Tiffany and Thessali, for representing GWC on a global stage and building relationships that move our work forward.
