3 ABOUT US Who We Are Wine to Water s US staff consists of 5 full-time and 5 part-time members. We consider ourselves family but live in different parts of the country and are seldom in the same place at once. We are united by our passion for clean water and the joy we get from working with our local partners on the ground. Wine To Water has worked in 16 countries. We have ongoing projects in 7 countries on 4 continents, and support thirty international aid workers. Our Mission Wine To Water is a non-profit focused on providing clean water & sanitation to people in need around the world. Nearly 800 million people in the world today lack access to adequate water and 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation. We are devoted to fighting this epidemic. Wine symbolizes fortune in our society. Our goal is to give the fortunate population an opportunity to fight for those who can't fight for themselves. What We Do Each project is unique, but the common theme is that we use local people in each country. We develop leaders in the community and educate them on proper water and sanitation methods to promote sustainable. Our work empowers the local community to help them meet their ongoing needs. With every project, the common thread in our work is: -Insuring that the proper type of water system is used for that specific community -Our methods included shallow & deep wells, well repairs, ceramic water filters, bio-sand filters, Sawyer filters, and rain-water harvest tanks -We also improve sanitation using latrine and hygiene education -We use local materials whenever possible -We monitor and report on all our projects -We are constantly developing our programs and striving for more efficient systems How We Began Doc Hendley is the founder and international president of Wine To Water. In 2003 he dreamed up the concept of the organization, while bartending and playing music in nightclubs around Raleigh, North Carolina. The first fundraiser was held in January of 2004 and by August of that year Doc was living in Darfur, Sudan installing water systems for victims of the government supported genocide. When Doc returned home in August of 2005, the haunting memories of what he had seen in Darfur drove him to continue building the organization he started two years earlier. In 2007, with the addition of vice president Annie Our Partners We have 30 international, on the ground partners including: Filter Pure Connect Africa & SP-UK Water is Life Kone Kmeng Zakat Foundation Marion, Wine To Water became an official 501(c)(3) non-profit. In 2009 Doc and the work of the Wine To Water team was recognized by the CNN Heroes program, launching the organization's efforts globally. Doc's dream, and the goal of Wine To Water, is to quench the thirst of those in need.
