President/CEO Arnie Eastburn oversees operations for Water4Life Mozambique (W4LMoz) in the U.S. and Mozambique. Board Members and the Mozambique team are crucial in carrying out various day-to-day details. (See their names and titles below this bio).
Arnie in Mozambique as the drilling team drills a new water well.
Before Water4Life Mozambique, Arnie was a successful entrepreneur, starting and building businesses in human resource/business services industries. In 2002, a mission trip to Mozambique, Africa, dramatically changed his life’s trajectory. God began to create in him a passion for missions. Since that time, Arnie has led over 40 mission teams to Mozambique. His international experience includes leading mission teams to 13 countries. But, no matter where he was in the world, his heart and passion have always returned to Mozambique.
Avid photographer, videographer and speaker, Arnie does photoshoots on location in Mozambique, including drones, to capture footage that he uses to do fundraising. To say that he is passionate about the people of Mozambique—and providing clean, safe water to Mozambique’s impoverished people—would be an understatement.

Why Us?
Our founder first dreamed about ways Water4Life Mozambique could be a help to Mozambique. Initially the nonprofit organization was focused on several things such as building churches, as well as drilling for water.
By 2015, a Board of Directors had been established, and together, we felt God’s leading to focus only on drilling water wells in Mozambique, Africa.
Why Water?
Arnie took a mission trip to the Maganja da Costa district of Mozambique in 2003.
It was there that a personal experience that spoke to him of just how precious water is.
See the details of that experience by clicking here.
Why Mozambique?
Mozambique ranks as the world’s 2nd poorest country. Clean water is a basic human need. Yet, without drilled water wells in their villages, women and girls are destined to walk all day, every day—all of their lives—to fetch the only water they can find: dirty, contaminated water that must suffice for their families’ daily needs.
Not merely survive, by drilling water wells in villages, children then THRIVE!
How, Where, and When
How we decide what villages to drill in next:
Our In-Country Director is Latim Rendiceo Nherrezonanda. Requests for new water wells come to him.
Latim goes out to the village and together they fill out an application.
Information gathered includes GPS location, number of people, number of homes, distance from a dirty water source and a clean water source. Based on the urgency of their need and the proximity of other villages nearby that also need a well, the village goes into a queue for the next water wells to be drilled, when funds are available.
We drill on church properties, Villages, and School properties.
It is our intent to put the church in the position to give clean, safe drinking water to their community.
This approach works for many reasons. Because the church is the entity offering clean water, villagers have goodwill towards the church. As a result, they are very interested in hearing the Good News about Jesus, our Savior.
Each village has a Water Well Committee chosen from members of the village church. Those members are individuals who can be counted on to take their responsibility seriously. They are trained on the parts of the pump and how to repair it. Repair supplies are left with the committee. They can contact Water4Life Mozambique’s in-country assistant if their water well needs help.
We drill when funds are available.
Drilling is being done all year long, as funds are available.
100% of donations given for water wells, go to drill new water wells.
All of W4LMoz overhead expenses are covered by our Board of Directors.
A drilled water well in Aya’s village allows her to do things she could never do before:
Go to school every day.
Get an education instead of marrying too early, and having children too early.
Get a job that will give her an income.
Be in charge of her own future.
W4L Moz Board of Directors are committed to giving water and sharing Jesus with those who thirst .
