A brief word about our Founder:

Our founder, Joyce Latham Elam, visited many of the World’s troubled areas in her 90 years on Earth.  Sadly, she died in tears, not knowing how best to solve the environmental and social problems we face and how to halt the tide of growing global water pollution and to feed the World’s hungry.

Today, our charity communicates those  same problems through:
Giving Live talks,
Conserving Water,
Presenting Exhibitions.
Holding Workshops,
Personal Museum Projects (Reference Vaulting)
Researching Water Footprints,
Conducting Field trips,
Arranging Wildlife Walks,
Preserving Water Heritage,
Writing Campaign Blogs,
Publishing Water Awareness (POD),
Designing Courses,
Holding Interviews,
Creating Films (just started!),
Sharing on Social Media,
Face-to-face and online meetings,
Supporting water awareness,
Maintaining woodland and pasture.

With your ongoing support we can solve the problems facing the World’s water  and together, win the battle for clean water habitats for humans and wildlife everywhere.
