Gary White - Executive Director

White has dedicated his life to helping people obtain safe and sustainable water supplies. More than a decade ago in the slums of Guatemala City, he was shocked by the sources of drinking water. These caused sickness and death, especially for children whose immune systems are weak. Knowing that 80 percent of sickness in the world is water-related motivated him to co-found WaterPartners.

Heather Arney - International Programs Manager

Prior to her 3 years with WaterPartners, while in the U.S. Peace Corps in West Africa, Arney worked in micro-finance with local women’s groups. She also worked with a non-government organization that sends girls to school. Arney taught basic accounting skills and English to local entrepreneurs. She assisted a musical group to raise HIV/AIDS and health awareness.
