Marla Smith-Nilson - Director of International Programs

Smith-Nilson’s childhood visits to Mexico and the two years she worked, and traveled in Africa and Asia spurred her to help the poor get safe water. While she was overwhelmed by their struggle for survival, she was inspired by the way they are able to face their problems with dignity and hope. Co-founding WaterPartners was her response to these problems.

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.
