Sunil Lalvani and Project Maji – Guest Lecture on Water Scarcity

  • Tuesday, 22 November 2022

The School of Law and Politics and The Institute of Sustainable Development were delighted to welcome Sunil Lalvani, founder & CEO Project Maji on Monday, 21 Nov. Sunil presented to a wide range of students and faculty his unique perspective on sustainable development. Sunil shared his personal journey with the students, where having initially worked for his family’s electronics business, Binatone, he then pivoted his career to focus on water provision for rural communities across sub-Saharan Africa. His journey started after he witnessed a very common seen of children collecting dirty water from roadside puddles. Sunil’s story touched on the challenges and opportunities of raising capital, designed for purpose water solutions, and developing sustainable water solutions for rural communities. 

Sunil founded Project Maji in 2014, a social enterprise focused on providing sustainable access to safe water in rural communities throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Sunil now runs Project Maji from its office in Dubai at the International Humanitarian City. Project Maji was the proud winner of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Water Award in 2020 as well as being selected as a YPO Global Impact Award Winner that same year.
