About the author

Doc Hendley is the founder and current president of Wine to Water. Wine To Water is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit aid organization focused on providing clean water to needy people around the world. Doc Hendley and Wine to Water have worked to provide clean water and sanitation in many countries including Sudan, India, Cambodia, Uganda, Ethiopia, Peru, South Africa, and Kenya. Doc responded to the 2010 Haiti earthquake by bringing a water purification system to be implemented within disaster areas.

Doc first envisioned the concept of Wine to Water in 2003 while bartending and playing music in nightclubs around Raleigh, North Carolina. In January 2004, the first fundraiser was held at a local bar in Raleigh. With the funds raised during the event, Doc traveled to Darfur, Sudan and began installing water systems for victims of the government supported genocide. Doc resided in Sudan for approximately one year. Upon his return to the United States, he began to focus all his energy on developing Wine to Water programs in other countries and has received a great deal of attention in the local and national media.
