Dot Bekker

I want to thank you, Dot Bekker, for the conversations you and I have had about building each other up! You’re a woman of worth and a woman of influence. In you I have found not only a friend who motivates me to excel in my goals but also an advocate for women. You sacrifice a lot to help women in underserved areas. I’m fortunate and blessed to partner with you on my next water project in Zimbabwe.

Nisha Mandani
Serving humanity for over 2 decades. Started Our AIM Foundation 12 years ago

Our AIM Foundation provides lifesaving resources to communities in five developing areas of the world: Malawi, India, Pakistan, the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh, and most recently, Syrian and Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. We’ve chosen these regions because their populations are among the most marginalized in the world. To date, our services have benefitted over 3,000,000 individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds in these countries, including 650,000 underprivileged children and 800,000 female victims of abuse. We’ve built 900 bore-wells, 500 sanitary care stations, 700 homes, a state-of-the-art community center, and provided critical medical services to hundreds of thousands in these areas. Through our programs, we’ve been able to offer dignity and hope to these disenfranchised, and often forgotten, groups.

Czarina Isabella Maliksi
Without a doubt, Outstanding epitomizes the very best and Isabella’s value to our community is unmatched. As a Community member, I am very familiar with the quality of her mind and academic ability. My numerous interactions with her have allowed her to demonstrate her sharp mind, curiosity and eagerness to help.

While her achievement and project “Turn your Plastic to money” is indeed noteworthy, I have also been impressed by Isabella’s work ethic and drive. Her fellow Org members trust her implicitly and have entrusted the responsibility of many organization endeavors and programs to her. This is no way typical but is a testament to the character and drive of this individual. To recognize her many contributions to the community, Isabella was recently elected to lead the Non Government Organization “She is she” in the Philippines.

Still, her stellar performance and exceptional service as a volunteer and leader only speaks to a small part of who Isabella is. No small part of what makes her special is her commitment to service to the community. Isabella gives of herself on an order of magnitude that is equaled by few.

David Warsinger

An acknowledgement to Dr. David Warsinger, Assistant Professor at Purdue University. Dr. Warsinger’s work in addressing water scarcity through innovation is recognized by many institutions including MIT Technology Review’s Innovators Under 35. He serves as a mentor to students and as a leader in the field to many from across the world. David has been my sounding board, thought partner (never hesitating to challenge my thinking as per the Forbes definition of the term), and was the inspiration behind writing my first CaringCrowd story on clean water, kickstarting this lifechanging journey with JB Dondolo.
