HNP’s Board: A Team of Changemakers You Should Know

Hello friends,

It’s February 2025, and as we kick off the new year, we’re taking a moment to reflect on everything we accomplished in 2024 — and we’ve got the numbers to prove it! Our Impact Report is coming soon, packed with stats and stories of the real change we made together.

But here’s a sneak peek:

Last year, we distributed over 11 million liters of clean drinking water, hosted an epic football tournament, installed 55 solar streetlights to make Kibera safer, and even launched a water bottling plant! 

All of this is possible because of our incredible team on the ground in Kenya — more on them in our next posts. But today, we want to introduce you to the powerhouse behind our vision: our amazing US Board!

We’re beyond lucky to have this diverse, talented group of leaders guiding us forward — professors, entrepreneurs, business execs, and activists who share our passion for real, lasting change.
