JB Dondolo, Inc. believes that water and functional healthcare centers are a human right. They work where there is a need. JB Dondolo finishes what has been started, but left incomplete due to hardships (death, illness, no means to fund). They work on the critical components first.

About the Hospital Hope Project: The late JB Dondolo founded the Igusi “Hospital Hope” project in Zimbabwe, Africa when he visited the hospital and saw that it lacked the basic necessities for serving its local community. The project location is between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls. JB Dondolo, Inc. took on the project following his illness and passing. The first phase of the project has focused on raising the funds necessary for clean water and sanitation. That required the need to install the much-needed equipment to provide the community with clean water – the company has installed a new filtration system and secured it, and added necessary electrical infrastructure to ensure clean water is available – both to those at the clinic needing it and to a nearby school that was in need of clean water.

About the Water for New Jersey (Water4NJ) Campaign: JB Dondolo is on a mission to deliver bottled water to the communities in need in New Jersey, USA. The campaign kicks off at the annual gala this year.

JB Dondolo and the Hospital Hope project are benefactors of the annual Equanimity Awards Gala, held in Grapevine, Texas at the Cowboys Golf Club this year on October 12, 2019.
