Filled with the desire to serve those with less, the Whites ventured out on their own to see what gifts they could offer to the poor of Guatemala.

Wanting to become "missionaries" Michelle White started researching ways in which a married couple with children could become active in peace-corps-like activities.  Within their denomination, nothing was a perfect fit. So after much frustration, the Whites formed their own 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization convinced that this was the way which God was leading them.  This led them on to a very exciting and fulfilling adventure.

On January 19th, 2008, HEART and Potters for Peace joined forces to spread the filter technology across the globe. Potters for Peace has been establishing new filter factories in Central and South America from 2001.  Now at the number of 19 factories these two organizations joined together to both reinforce the effectiveness of the already established factories and to continue expansion in countries still without clean water.

This new partnership will help both organizations to grow towards accomplishing the United Nations Millennium Goal to halve the number of people in the world unable to reach or afford safe drinking water by the year 2015. This partnership will build on the strengths of both organizations in their determination to deliver potable water to those living in extreme poverty in third world countries.
