Our Board Members
Bob Nicol, President
Bob is a Civil Engineer, with over 40 years of experience in the US and around the world, in performing many projects in power generation and in water utilities. He now applies that experience and his advanced degrees, to projects in developing countries, particularly Liberia and Kenya, Africa. He started MW4A in 2018, after performing similar well-drilling and water project development for two earlier ministries for a total of ten years. He has done water projects in South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Tanzania, as well. He established an NGO in Kenya to drill and equip water wells, including the extending of the use of solar pumping and distribution. A similar NGO is in development in Liberia, where he supports a team dedicated to repairing and rehabbing broken water wells and pumps.
Bob enjoys presenting his ministry to schools, churches and civic groups – anywhere. His favorite Bible verse that he says he “clings to”, is 2 Corinthians 12:9, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in (your) weakness.”
