Zender Environmental Health & Research Group is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.

We work with remote small communities and tribes to identify and address the unique waste and water quality challenges they face.

We believe in environmental health and safety for all peoples and we provide technical expertise, coordinate efforts, and conduct research that advances that objective.
