A Message from the Founder
By the end of 2024, we have installed a total of 300 SUNDA.
As more communities come to rely on our system, we feel an even greater sense of responsibility, knowing that SUNDA is becoming a key part of local infrastructure. Looking ahead, SUNDA will play an essential role not just in Uganda, but across Africa’s water infrastructure. While we are encouraged by the growing expectations, we also recognize the need to continuously provide stable services—and there are still many technical challenges to overcome to reach that level.
Since 2018, we’ve steadily worked through a range of obstacles, one step at a time, and we’re beginning to see real results. Even the once-difficult collaboration between Ugandan and Japanese engineers is now working smoothly. From here, it’s time to accelerate toward wider expansion.
This is not an easy mission—but I believe it’s the kind of work that can leave a lasting mark on history.
Together, let’s build and grow the SUNDA system by harnessing the strengths of both Uganda and Japan, and help shape a better future for Africa.
Our Values at SUNDA
-
Respect Differences
Everyone comes from different cultures and experiences.
What someone says or does might not seem “normal” to you—but we strive to understand, respect, and even enjoy those differences. -
Be Honest—with Yourself and Others
It's natural for people to have different thoughts and feelings—and those differences deserve respect.
Start by being honest with yourself. By sharing your true feelings openly with others and with your team, we can move forward in a way that’s best for everyone. -
Focus on How It Can Be Done
Much of what SUNDA tackles has never been done before—there’s no manual, no one to teach us, and no clear answers.
Even when something seems impossible, we stay flexible and think creatively about how to make it possible.
There’s a lot we may not know, but by taking one step at a time, we can forge our own path forward.
