Oklahoma Roots: Clean Water Project’s Journey from Tulsa to the World

Clean Water Project, Inc. is proud to call Oklahoma home. Founded in 2022 by Greg Vogt and Barry Evans, our organization began with a simple yet profound mission: to provide clean and safe drinking water to communities in need. Based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, our roots are deeply embedded in the values of this vibrant city. From our beginnings in the heart of Tulsa, we have grown into a global organization, bringing life-changing water filtration solutions to communities around the world.

Tulsa: The Starting Point of Our Journey

Tulsa, Oklahoma, is known for its rich history, cultural diversity, and strong sense of community. It’s a city where neighbors look out for one another and where the spirit of helping those in need is woven into the fabric of daily life. It was here, in this supportive and dynamic environment, that Clean Water Project, Inc. was born.

Our founders, Greg Vogt and Barry Evans, were inspired by their own experiences and the values they hold dear. Greg’s extensive career in the energy sector and Barry’s background in media brought together a unique blend of skills and perspectives. Their shared commitment to making a positive impact led to the creation of Clean Water Project, Inc., with Tulsa as the launching pad for their vision.

Making an Impact Locally and Globally

Our work began with a focus on addressing water needs within our local community. Tulsa, like many other cities, has areas where access to clean water can be a challenge. We started by implementing small-scale water filtration projects in these areas, ensuring that our neighbors had access to the safe, clean water they needed for their daily lives.

As we grew, so did our reach. The success of our local projects gave us the confidence and experience to expand our efforts beyond Oklahoma. Today, we operate both domestically and internationally, bringing sustainable water filtration solutions to communities in need around the globe. However, no matter how far our projects take us, Tulsa remains at the heart of everything we do.

Community Support: The Backbone of Our Success

The support we’ve received from the Tulsa community has been instrumental in our success. From local businesses and organizations to individual donors and volunteers, the people of Tulsa have embraced our mission wholeheartedly. Their generosity and enthusiasm have fueled our growth and enabled us to make a real difference.

Local partnerships have also played a crucial role. By collaborating with other Oklahoma-based organizations, we’ve been able to maximize our impact and extend our reach. Together, we’re building a network of support that ensures sustainable access to clean water for all.

A Commitment to Oklahoma Values

Our Oklahoma roots shape our approach to our work. We are guided by the values of community, resilience, and compassion—values that are deeply ingrained in the Oklahoma spirit. We believe in taking action, supporting one another, and creating lasting change through collaboration and innovation.

This commitment is reflected in our projects, whether they’re in Tulsa or thousands of miles away. We strive to make a meaningful impact, one that not only addresses immediate needs but also builds the foundation for a better future.

Creating an Impact: How Clean Water Projects Are Transforming Lives

At Clean Water Project, Inc., our mission goes beyond providing clean and safe drinking water—we are transforming lives and building healthier, more resilient communities. Our efforts to implement sustainable water filtration solutions are creating a profound impact on public health, education, economic stability, and overall quality of life. Here’s a closer look at how our work is making a difference around the world.

Health and Well-being

Clean water is fundamental to health. Access to safe drinking water prevents waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and typhoid, which claim millions of lives each year. By providing reliable water filtration systems, we ensure that communities have a constant supply of clean water, significantly reducing the incidence of these diseases.

For example, in a village in rural Kenya, our filtration system has drastically cut the number of hospital visits due to waterborne illnesses. Families now drink water without fear, and children can attend school regularly, leading to healthier, happier lives.

Empowering Education

Education and water are deeply connected. When children have access to clean water, they are more likely to attend school regularly. The burden of fetching water often falls on young girls, who might otherwise miss out on their education. By installing water filtration systems within communities, we free up time for children to focus on their studies, paving the way for a brighter future.

In a small community in Honduras, our projects have led to a remarkable increase in school attendance. Girls, in particular, are now able to spend their days learning instead of trekking long distances to collect water. This empowerment through education is setting the stage for a generation of educated, empowered individuals.

Economic Stability

Access to clean water also drives economic development. Healthy individuals can work more effectively, and time saved from not having to collect water can be spent on productive activities. Moreover, clean water reduces healthcare costs by preventing diseases, allowing families to invest in other essential needs.

In a farming community in India, our water filtration systems have enabled local farmers to irrigate their crops with clean water, leading to better yields and higher incomes. This boost in agricultural productivity is lifting entire families out of poverty and contributing to the overall economic stability of the region.

Environmental Conservation

Our commitment to environmental conservation is integral to our mission. By promoting the use of sustainable water filtration technologies, we help communities reduce their reliance on bottled water and decrease plastic waste. Additionally, clean water sources contribute to healthier ecosystems, benefiting both wildlife and human populations.

In a coastal village in the Philippines, our filtration systems have not only provided clean drinking water but have also reduced the community’s reliance on single-use plastics. This shift is contributing to cleaner beaches and oceans, preserving the natural beauty and biodiversity of the area.

Building Resilient Communities

Resilience is the ability to recover from setbacks and adapt to change. By ensuring access to clean water, we strengthen communities against the impacts of natural disasters, climate change, and other challenges. Our filtration systems are designed to be durable and easy to maintain, ensuring long-term benefits even in the face of adversity.

In Haiti, following a devastating earthquake, our portable water filtration units provided immediate relief to affected communities. These systems continue to serve as a reliable source of clean water, helping the community rebuild and prepare for future emergencies.

Personal Stories of Transformation

The true measure of our impact lies in the stories of individuals whose lives have been changed by our work. Take Maria, a mother of three in a remote village in Peru. Before the installation of our water filtration system, her children frequently fell ill due to contaminated water. Today, they drink safely from their tap, enjoy good health, and Maria can focus on her small business, knowing her family’s basic needs are met.
