About KEIKI INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION

Keiki International Foundation (doing business as Paper for Water) is a Dallas-based 501(c)(3) that raises funds for clean water and sanitation projects worldwide and educates youth about the global water crisis. The organization uses volunteer-driven origami fundraising, events, and partnerships with implementer organizations to fund wells, piped water systems, and sanitation projects. Paper for Water reports sustained program activity in recent years, including multi-country water projects and domestic work on Navajo Nation communities. Leadership is youth-led: the organization was founded and is publicly led by sisters Isabelle and Katherine Adams, supported by a volunteer board and staff who coordinate fundraising, volunteer origami programs, and partner relations. The charity publishes annual reports and regular media updates documenting measurable impact (wells funded, people served) and recent field activity in Guatemala, Kenya, Zambia, Peru and Navajo Nation communities, and continues active fundraising and volunteer programs into the last 2–3 years.
