About Seth Maxwell
Seth Maxwell is the Founder & CEO of The Thirst Project. The Thirst Project has made a bold commitment to ending the clean water crisis. In less then 5 years, The Thirst Project has raised the funds for the construction of over 788 water projects in 11 countries, giving clean water and hope to hundreds of thousands of people. Mr. Maxwell has spoken internationally at over 300 schools, countless churches, and numerous conferences, including the TEDx Hollywood Youth Conference, the Nexus Global Youth Summit, and addressing the United Nations General Assembly. Mr. Maxwell was named one of Forbes’s “Top 30 Under 30” earlier this year and was recently invited to the White House to discuss how to activate millennials toward work in the social sector. Upon learning that almost one billion people lack access to clean water and that water-borne illnesses account for more than 80% of all global disease, he gave up acting to focus on water education. He graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts with a degree in Acting.
