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 Water.org.
