Feeling called to respond to the 2010 Haitian earthquake, World Thirst founder
Luke Pinneo quit his job at a financial institution in Denver Colorado, bought a one way ticket to Port-Au-Prince, and began a journey that would in more ways than not re-direct the course of his life. Not knowing fully what they would encounter, but trusting their calling to “just go”, Luke and close friend Tyler Grimes immediately began work establishing a home base for a microfinance group called Esperanza, as well as aiding in the installations of the then young but highly effective Sunspring unit. Feeling the impact of offering instant access to safe water for thirsty communities all across the beautiful country of Haiti, it was in this experience that the impetus for what would later become World Thirst was born.
[/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ width=”1/2″ el_position=”last”]
Coming home two months later, Luke would take the next few years to travel and experience different cultures, along the way honing his interest & experience in developing world water issues, learning the value in offering sustainability through micro-lending.
It’s out of these experiences that the model for World Thirst was realized, and not long after a team was formed to begin the implementation of pilot projects. Inspired by the lives & faces of those met along the way, our group is driven by the common vision of developing deep relationship & community with those we’re privileged to work with in delivering much needed access to safe water.
It’s with the greatest pleasure that we welcome you into this story!
