Our Team

There are also many behind-the-scenes folk who are assisting us with the achievement of our goal of Water4Kids. These folk are happy to remain anonymous yet we wish to acknowledge their presence, dedication, and support of our vision. The pro-bono, lawyers assisting us with our Charitable status achievement (we know that helps local donors to get an IRD break), web designers, copywriters and administrators dealing with the litany of bureaucratic paperwork necessary for international aid missions.

All donating their energy and time towards a better outcome for children.

And we want to thank YOU for joining us on our journey.
