The Water Rescue Foundation

Moses West is driven by a single goal; to provide clean drinking water to people in need. The Foundation was formed to ensure that the groundbreaking technology—
Atmospheric Water Generation—is available to the people who need it most.
"We [the Water Rescue Foundation] bypass the inefficiencies and bureaucracy that impede progress, deployment and implementation of this new and innovative technology,” remarked Moses West, founder of the Water Rescue Foundation. “I, for one, will not stand to let one more day pass without doing my absolute best to ensure this technology is provided to the people that need it the most."

“The goal of Regular Hero is to work with the community to inspire positive change,” says Curtis Harkness, Executive Director of Regular Hero. “By bringing together partners for the Regular Pure Water Coalition, we will help bring options to residents to solve the clean water crisis in Flint, and that in turn will be used in other places that need clean water. We don't do this for recognition or power. We simply believe that all people deserve clean water—no matter where you are from or who you are. Everyone can be a Regular Hero. Just do what you can with what you have right now and help make things better.”
