AFTER TWO DECADES OF SUPPLYING COMMUNITIES WITH SAFE WATER, DR. GEORGE AND MOLLY GREENE, FOUNDERS OF WATER MISSION, REALIZED THEY WOULD NEVER SOLVE THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS AT THE CURRENT RATE. WITH 2.2 BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD STILL WITHOUT ACCESS TO SAFE WATER, THEY HAD A VISION FOR AN ORGANIZATION THAT COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM FASTER. IN 2020, WATER MISSION TURNED THAT VISION INTO REALITY BY FOUNDING GLOBAL WATER CENTER (GWC).AT GWC, WE BELIEVE EVERYONE DESERVES ACCESS TO SAFELY MANAGED WATER. WITHOUT SUSTAINABLE WATER SYSTEMS, THIS GOAL REMAINS OUT OF REACH. THAT IS WHY GWC FOCUSES ON CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, AND COLLABORATION, EQUIPPING LEADERS TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS AT THE SCALE NEEDED TO END THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS. AS THE GO-TO RESOURCE FOR THE RURAL WATER SECTOR, WE HAVE EQUIPPED LEADERS IN OVER 130 COUNTRIES. TOGETHER, WE ARE SOLVING THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS.
