Community Water Solutions
Bringing Clean Water to Communities in Need
Our Team
Our inter-disciplinary team brings a range of specialized skills and experience to the Community Water Solutions organization. The team is led by former management consulting professionals from top tier firms such as Monitor Group and Accenture, holding graduate degrees from Massachusetts Institute of Technology specializing in Household Water Treatment and Safe Water Storage (HWTS) in the developing world, as well as engineering and business degrees from Columbia, MIT, Dartmouth, Harvard, and the University of Virginia. Over half of the team has previous field experience implementing water health projects in other Sub-Saharan countries of Africa as well as Latin America.
Through our work on the ground in Ghana, we have built relationships with Ghanaian partners that have helped us engage with communities, bridge the language gap and establish a local network. This established network has been crucial in facilitating each step of the project implementation process and provides continuity throughout the year. Such local partners are essential to project sustainability in the developing world and represent an equally valuable component of our Community Water Solutions team.
Our team consists of Mike Brown, Kate Clopeck, Vanessa Green, and Charles Howe.
