Nature's Voice Our Choice

Our Director

Our Director, Brandy Lellou grew up in Colorado and has closely followed the strain that water scarcity is having on all industries in the western US.  However, while serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Mauritania, West Africa, she saw the real meaning of water scarity and its impact on communities.  Brandy has a Civil Engineering degree from Colorado State University with 10 years of experience implementing environmental, geotechnical, and water engineering projects in the field; including 7 years of experience working on engineering projects in Africa from building simple village schools to installing a high tech water distribution system for the US Embassy.  In response to the need to find additional water resources in Mauritania, Brandy founded Nature's Voice Our Choice with the goal of developing a system that could treat waste water using locally available materials and labor for reuse in agricultural production.  With the success and expansion of this project, the vision for the organization has grown as the Board of Directors began to explore the need for a grass roots water preservation and conservation movement in the United States.  Brandy's technical skills combined with her communication skills and passion for her work allows her to guide Nature's Voice Our Choice in designing and implementing programs that strive to ensure the sustainability of water resources in communities throughout the world.
