YATB 345: Never Be Ashamed of Your Origin Story with James Harrington

Mike Kim

September 13, 2022

James Harrington is the founder of the nonprofit Ugandan Water Project. I got to know James back when we were both involved in the ministry world and even played on tour together. In this episode, we talk about why James began the Ugandan Water Project and what he has learned over the nearly 15 years he has been running the nonprofit.

Some of the questions we dive into are:

How did he get into starting a nonprofit for communities in Uganda from his small town in western New York?
What were his early fundraising pitches like?
Who were the people connecting with in the beginning?
Was there a season where he felt like they had finally made it?
What are the project’s core values?
