Peacekeepers at heart: UN Volunteers serve for Western Sahara's future
In the quest for global peace, more than 1,300 UN Volunteers are currently serving with UN peacekeeping missions worldwide. They play pivotal roles in navigating nations through the arduous journey from conflict to peace. For the International Day of UN Peacekeepers, we shine a spotlight on the contributions of four international UN Volunteers within the UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO).
Jean Bosco Bavuge embarked on his volunteering journey with MINURSO as a Water and Sanitation technician in 2021. Aiming to achieve efficiency and minimize risks, he facilitates the optimized utilization of natural resources.
Jean's expertise lies in designing effective water and wastewater treatment facilities, while ensuring compliance with international safety and environmental standards. He actively shares his extensive knowledge to strengthen his colleagues’ capacity, including military peacekeepers, in the realm of water and waste management.
