Personal Bio
James Thuch Madhier is the founder of the Rainmaker Enterprise, a non-profit social enterprise that transforms lives in conflict and climate-change-affected regions by providing solar-powered water infrastructure to build healthy, inclusive, peaceful, and sustainable communities. When James was only nine years old, he witnessed the famine in the Bahr el Ghazal region of then-southern Sudan. The famine was a result of a combination of food supply chain disruptions caused by war and climate change shocks. After witnessing all of this happen to his community, James promised himself that he’d find durable solutions to restore dignity to those affected by conflict and climate change. He started the Rainmaker Enterprise to implement climate-adaptive solutions for those displaced by climate change shocks and at risk of being displaced. To achieve these solutions, James implements solar-powered water supply systems to improve community health through irrigation farming, boosting food production levels to address extreme hunger.
