Philanthropy - Boise, Idaho, United States
Headed by former US Army Officer, Rob McQueen, the Clean Water Corps (CWC) serves as a specialized clean water task force, sharply focused on combating the global water crisis. It is operated entirely by veterans—many of them, though they have transitioned from active duty, are still keen to be out there in the world, applying their knowledge and expertise, into something bigger than onself. It combines our, no-nonsense, guerrilla humanitarianism mindset, with the time-tested structural qualities of the military—organization, discipline, strategy, planning etc — ultimately using them to help solve a major global issue.With a current roster of 40 veterans the Clean Water Corps has grown into two regions, West and East, each engaging its members across multiple fundraising efforts and projects globally. Since its inception the Clean Water Corps has launched 28 project, across 18 countries.
