Dick Greenly \u2013 Water4 - Solving the Global Water Crisis","description":"Dick Greenly is the Co-Founder of Water4, an organization on a mission to eradicate the world\u2019s water crisis by bringing clean water access to every home, school, and clinic. Water4 is not your typical risk-adverse nonprofit\u2026 they want the risk because they believe in the power of pushing boundaries. In this episode, Dick covers the formation of Water4, the inspiration behind the nonprofit, and the impact it\u2019s making on the world\u2019s water infrastructure. Having been to 45 different countries, Water4 created momentum by training local communities in Africa to drill wells. As a result from the training, the nonprofit is able to help more people. Though, solving a global crisis doesn\u2019t come without its obstacles. As the wells began breaking and more pain points began to arise, they became liabilities. Dick shares the challenges, costs, and solutions they developed to increase the efficiency and scalability of their nonprofit water infrastructure. He also sheds light on the harmful economic implications of charity and how organizations can approach charity work without compromising the communities they\u2019re serving.
