VETERANS WITHOUT ORDERS CORP

Veterans Without Orders (VWO) is a veteran-led, non-profit organization that assists populations without clean water and other essential services. Our goal is to continue serving humanity by utilizing skills obtained while in uniform to conduct sustainable humanitarian projects worldwide. We envision being a global leader in providing sustainable access to clean drinking water to the world’s most economically disadvantaged communities to end preventable deaths due to waterborne diseases.

VWO was founded in 2015 by members of the US Army Civil Affairs. The Civil Affairs (CA) Branch is the humanitarian arm of the military. Consisting primarily of civilian experts such as doctors, lawyers, engineers, police, firemen, bankers, computer programmers, farmers, and others, CA Soldiers play an integral role in peacekeeping operations around the world. Although mainly comprised of CA Soldiers, VWO also has veteran volunteers with specialized experience in healthcare and construction from the US Navy and US Marine Corps as well as non-veteran volunteers.

With this specialized experience, our veteran volunteers combine regional expertise, language competency, political-military awareness, and cross-cultural communication skills to deliver clean water filters, training, and follow-up support to water-stressed regions across the globe.

VWO, to include all staff members and Board of Directors, is an all-volunteer organization. All funds received go directly to support the clean water missions we conduct in the most economically disadvantaged communities in the world.
