In a world filled with environmental challenges, one dedicated volunteer steps up to make a difference. Meet Liudmyla Odud, a Ukrainian UN Volunteer Environmental Engineer with nine years of experience in water and sanitation. With a passion and motivation to assist vulnerable communities, Liudmyla has been serving with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) for two years. She has taken on the responsibility of managing water, wastewater and solid waste in mission camps across Equatoria and Jonglei States.
With a wealth of knowledge and skills, Liudmyla always felt a calling to serve in places where help was most needed. Through her assignment, she strives to reduce waste and prevent the harmful effects of open waste burning, which causes air pollution and jeopardizes public health in Central, Eastern, Western Equatoria and Jonglei States.
