About this listen
This episode is about what happens when a hard truth refuses to stay hidden. John and Nicci Renouard of WHO Lives share the moment their mission changed—from solving water access to confronting one of the most painful realities facing girls in East Africa. What follows is not a story of outrage for outrage’s sake. It is a story of identity, courage, responsibility, and service.
John and Nicci are the founders of WHO Lives, a nonprofit built around Water. Health. Opportunity. In this conversation, they walk through how their work expanded into protecting girls from FGM and child marriage, supporting rescue centers, helping law enforcement act, and replacing a destructive rite with a life-giving one. This is leadership through lived experience—practical, costly, and deeply human.
- How a water mission became a fight for girls’ dignity and safety
- Why truth—not pressure alone—became the turning point
- The practical systems that helped create real protection
- How communities began separating identity from harmful tradition
- Why responsibility is the bridge between awakening and service
- What real cultural change looks like when people refuse to look away
