Lt. Gen. Roméo Dallaire, Dr. James Orbinski to Speak at First Annual Water for Peace Event in Support of the Rainmaker Enterprise On Saturday, June 2nd, 2018 at 7PM, the Rainmaker Enterprise will host the first annual Water for Peace cocktail reception at the Spoke Club in downtown Toronto.
The event gathers humanitarians, environmental champions, peace activists, and industry leaders to learn, connect, and act on the water crisis.
Water for Peace features keynote remarks by Lieutenant General (retired) the Honourable Roméo Dallaire and guest speech by Dr. James Orbinski, both of whom have devoted their lives to working on the frontlines of humanitarian crises, where lack of access to water drives conflict and human suffering.
Guest speakers also include Cecilia Adeng, the Deputy Permanent Representative of South Sudan to the United Nations; and James Madhier, who has devoted his life to providing water for dignity as the Founder and Executive Director of the Rainmaker Enterprise.
These individuals understand the ultimate importance of water and are bringing this issue to all Canadians through Water for Peace.
All funds raised are in support of the Rainmaker Enterprise’s sustainable and scalable projects using solar energy to provide access to water in war-torn regions.
The Rainmaker Enterprise has gained global recognition in its first year of operation.
In 2017, the organization was shortlisted for the United Nations Environment Programme’s Young Champions of the Earth Award.
During the summit in Milan, the Rainmaker Enterprise received the Gruppo CAP Award as the most promising emerging organization addressing the water crisis.
