2015

Since 1995, Peter Lochery has led the expansion of CARE's Water Team strategies to include action, learning, partnership and advocacy.

An environmental engineer with over 30 years WASH experience, Peter has worked in the private sector, most recently CARE, and also with the World Bank's Water and Sanitation Program.  He currently serves on the board of building Partnerships for Development in Water and Sanitation, Water/WASH Advocates and the Millennium Water Alliance, both of which he was a founding father.

Peter's passions lie in addressing social inequities faced by women and girls, as well as building collaborative relationships with the private sector to expand corporate social responsibility.  Peter's humanitarian focus and dedication to affecting profound and lasting improvements in the lives of the works's poor, has guided his work, establishing him as a true leader in the international development field.

Peter was awarded the prestigious OU International Water Prize at the 2015 WaTER Conference to be held Sept. 21-23, 2015.
