One for Four
Pangea Bottles is founded on a simple concept: for every bottle you purchase, Pangea is giving a person in need clean water for four years. By drilling water wells in isolated villages around the world, we are changing people's lives in remarkable ways. Our mission is to provide the people in developing nations clean water by leveraging the power of individuals to make a difference in a sustainable way.

Why Water?
One billion people on our planet do not have access to clean drinking water. Many of these people must walk several miles everyday to get water, often times from cattle tanks. It is our responsibility to change this. Pangea's founder, Kevin Henry, believes that by building wells and rain catching tanks, Pangea Bottles will make a difference in villages struggling to find clean water. These wells will change peoples lives in many ways. Clean water can change someone's life unlike anything else, because it keeps them from getting sick, allows them to be educated, go to work, and live more productive and longer lives.
With so many people struggling to find clean water each day, Pangea Bottles' mission is centered around changing the lives of thousands or millions of people over the next several years by giving them a basic need that we often take for granted: water. Water is a giver of life and Pangea Bottles hopes that its efforts will help to make the world a better place.

Tercera Calle, Guatemala
Our first project provided more than 500 individuals in this small community in Guatemala fresh clean drinking water. Not only is this well benefiting this community, but it is also serving a local primary school and its 138 students.
Next Project: Haiti
Our next project aims to make a difference in earthquake devistated Haiti by building a new well and repairing damaged water wells in villages on the island. Check back for updates soon!
Kevin Henry
Kevin Henry is the Founder and CEO of Pangea Bottles. Pangea's promise to give clean water to people in need around the world with every bottle sold is a radical shift from traditional business plans. This socially minded way of doing business has already provided over 500 people in Guatemala clean water for the first time. Pangea expects to begin work on several new projects including one in Haiti this summer.
Kevin has always been an entrepreneur at heart and has been travelling around the world to work with orphans and those in need since he was a teenager. The culmination of Pangea Bottles was a natural progression in his desire to help others while blending his business mind in the form of social entrepreneurship.
After graduating from Baylor University in 2008, Kevin decided to continue his education and received his MBA from Baylor in May 2010. It was during his time at Baylor that he came up with the idea for Pangea Bottles. Kevin hopes that Pangea Bottles will make a difference in the lives of the one billion people who lack access to clean water.
Kevin is an avid fly-fisherman and traveler. He is 25-years-old and lives with his wonderful wife, Katie, in Lufkin, Texas.
