My Nonprofit Reviews

My experience with Water Missions International has far exceeded my expectations of the capabilities of a non-profit organization. After spending time serving at other local non-profits, I had come to expect slow production, regular hiccups, and, despite the best intentions, an inconsistent product. Hoewever, volunteering weekly on the production floor at Water Missions has renewed my faith in the capabilities of the nonprofit sector.
At Water Missions, we produce complex water treatment systems for delivery to some of the most remote areas around the world. The finished product demands precision, quality, and durability, as the availability of replacement parts and repair services after delivery is severely limited. Something as simple as a 5 foot section of PVC pipe can be difficult to obtain in a place like rural Uganda. At Water Missions, this challenge has been met by tight controls and ingenuity on the production line, which enables volunteers of any skill level to contribute to the final product. Detailed step-by-step instructions accompany every workstation, and hands-on instruction is readily available for the more complicated procedures. As a testament to their stewardship values, Water Missions has continually elected to conserve donor funds by empowering volunteers to do jobs ordinarily reserved for paid professionals.
