In 2008, Dick & Terry Greenly founded Water4 out of a discontent with the water crisis and a calling to take action using the resources and experience they had from running their company Pumps of Oklahoma. At its conception, Water4 was a non-profit pump manufacturer and implementer, believing pump failure to be the root cause of the crisis and innovative, affordable, and easily maintained pumps to be the solution. As Water4 grew, so did its understanding of the water crisis and the avenues to lasting impact.
Now, with the same vision of a world where everyone has access to safe and Living water, Water4 focuses on building sustainable, profitable safe water businesses across Sub-Saharan Africa: resourcing them with the technologies, strategies, education, and financing to thrive and end the water crisis in their own communities. Water4 challenges the notion that this crisis can be solved by aid, instead choosing to raise and invest funds in businesses that will last, being motivated by profit, providing a product that their customers need and value, and using the market as their mission field to share the gospel and the love of Christ.
Today, managed by CEO Matt Hangen, Water4 has impacted over 2 million people through safe water, including through discipleship and hygiene trainings, and actively works in 5 countries.
