My Mission Is...Jon Rose on Bringing Clean Water to Communities Worldwide

My Mission Is... is a podcast series co-hosted by Mission’s founder Karina Givargisoff.

This week’s My Mission Is… podcast guest is Jon Rose, the founder of Waves for Water (W4W), a nonprofit organization working to bring clean water to everyone who needs it. Rose’s life as a pro surfer served as a catalyst for his clean water initiative. Helping over 4 million people, Rose sees his work as more than just giving back; it’s a way of life.

In this week’s episode, Rose talks with Mission’s founder and editor-in-chief Karina Givargisoff about the “divine intervention” that sparked his passion for water access, the pivotal moments he’s experienced throughout this journey, and why bringing clean water to different countries is not one-size fits all.
