Arnie Eastburn & Joann Eastburn
Co-Founders
President/CEO Arnie Eastburn oversees operations for Water4Life Mozambique (W4LMoz) in the U.S. and Mozambique, along with the help and support from his wife, Joann Eastburn. The W4LMoz board members and the Mozambique team are crucial in carrying out various day-to-day details. The board members cover all of their own operational costs, so that 100% of donations go toward drilling water wells in Mozambique.
Before Water4Life Mozambique, Arnie was a successful entrepreneur, starting and building businesses in human resource and business service 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.
Aa 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.
