Hi, I’m Zara and I’m an incoming final year PPE with Social Data Science student. 

I was the 2021/22 President of the UCL Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Society. Under my leadership, the UCL WASH Society:

  • Has been recognised as the most active WASH society out of all UK universities affiliated with WaterAid UK. UCL WASH’s following grew by over 230% compared to the previous year.
  • Has been nominated for the Charity and Community Impact Award at the Societies Awards 2022.
  • Raised over £200 for WaterAid UK. Funds were directed towards WaterAid’s Winter Appeal initiative, to help provide clean water and sanitation in Nepal.
  • Presented at the London Student Sustainability Conference on UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.

As Head of Sustainability Research, I hope to widen UCL WASH's outreach and its mission to raise awareness of UN SDG 6. I hope to further expand the society's blog, which already features articles written by undergraduates from other institutions, such as Brown University.
