About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be speaking with an expert in the field of water equity leadership. Can you tell us a bit about your experience and what drew you to this area? GUEST: Sure, I've spent over 15 years working in water management, focusing on creating equitable access to clean water. I was drawn to this field because of the significant disparities that exist, especially in developing countries. HOST: That's fascinating.

Another challenge is addressing the diverse needs and experiences of the learners. HOST: Indeed, that sounds complex but rewarding.
