Impossible Is Our Mission
We forge paths to clean water where others see only obstacles. Since 2004, we've broken through barriers in Nepal, Dominican Republic, the Amazon, and Tanzania. We don't just install systems - we build local partnerships that drive lasting change. When disasters strike, our response team deploys instantly, pushing through chaos to deliver water where it's needed most.
Founder, Doc Hendley
Raw Passion
Into Pure Action
Doc Hendley, bartender turned boundary-breaker, believes that like water, we always find a way. In 2004, after learning that dirty water is the world’s deadliest crisis, he turned his outrage into action hosting the first Wine to Water event to raise funds for clean water. Six months later, he was in Darfur, Sudan, bringing water solutions to communities others deemed unreachable.
Doc founded Wine to Water on a simple belief: real change happens when we empower people to be part of the solution. Two decades later, that mission remains the same. WTW partners with communities to create sustainable water solutions, because water doesn’t just sustain life, it transforms it.
Named a CNN Hero in 2009, Doc continues to lead with grit, humility, and the unwavering belief that ordinary people can do extraordinary things.
