My internship with The Ayin Project taught me to take a real-world problem and think critically to try and solve it. When I first heard about the different case studies involving the lack of clean water in Uganda, I was shocked.

Like stepping into an icy river, my first experience with The Ayin Project hit hard—intense, overwhelming, and unforgettable. But as I immersed myself in their work, I found clarity, purpose, and a deep connection to something greater. This is more than a cause. It’s a call to action—to redefine what it means to help, and to empower local leaders to create sustainable solutions for water access around the world.
