Description

Big change often begins with one bold idea and your courage to follow it can transform more lives than you think.

In this episode, Lumbie Mlambo, Founder and CEO of JB Dondolo, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to breaking barriers to clean water and sanitation began a heartfelt mission to carry on her father's legacy rooted in vision, persistence, and the unshakable belief that everyone deserves access to clean water. We walk through her journey of funding rejection, community discovery, innovation, and the birth of her clean water technology: Climate H2O. 

Lumbie followed a vivid dream and turned it into a tangible solution impacting over 120,000 lives. You'll learn how Lumbie leaned into her intuition, collaborated with engineers and educators, and piloted systems that are lightweight, modular, inclusive, and cost-effective. From the Navajo Nation to South Africa, from Skid Row to Zimbabwe, Lumbie proves that small beginnings can create massive change. 

Take that next brave step toward turning your idea into lasting impact. Tune in to the episode of Happy Life Agenda.

Looking toward the future, Lumbie is pioneering innovation through Climate-H2O, a cutting-edge water technology developed in collaboration with Zwonaka and currently engineered at the University of Johannesburg's PEETS.
