John Renouard, the Founder and Executive Director of WHOlives, joins Charity Talks. On a trip to Africa in 2010, John was shocked to see how little access to clean water many villages he visited had. So, working with college engineering students, he invented the “Village Drill,” which is a low cost, hand-operated water drill, and then started WHOlives. Since then, WHOlives has helped bring clean, safe water to over 12 million people in 40 countries. In addition, when John learned that girls were being subjected to female genital mutilation and essentially sold into slavery as “child brides,” he again decided to do something about it. Working with local police and government authorities, WHOlives has helped support their efforts to enforce the laws prohibiting these appalling practices. Given the impact John and WHOlives has had, it is not surprising that the American Red Cross presented John with an International Hero Award in 2015. (0:37). Website: https://wholives.org/
