Our Team.
Jack Wilson.
Founder, Managing Director & OpWater Coordinator.
-
Jack founded Operation Blue Ltd in 2021, and today works as the Managing Director and Director of OpWater.
Following a stint in the Royal Australian Navy, Jack was in the process of launching an environmentally focused not-for-profit, however, following time in Kenya and Timor Leste, this dream shifted focus to address the global water crisis, and helping developing communities that lacked access to safe drinking water.
Years of hard work, passion and purpose have shaped Opblue into what it is today, with a team and supporters across the globe helping to bring this vision to life. Opblue has evolved into a broader Humanitarian Aid Organisation, focusing on three essential human rights of Water, Health and Education.
Jack is a Marine Biologist by trade, but has found his true passion in devoting his time to OpBlue, as well as Willow & Goose; a winery in the Adelaide Hills that he co-founded with his brother, Harry.
His unwavering compassion and dedication to the people and communities Opblue serves shine through everything Jack does, inspiring those around him to also make a meaningful difference.
Fallon Roocke.
Director, OpEducation & OpHealth Coordinator.
-
Fallon’s journey with Africa began in 2018, a trip that changed the course of her life. That trip gave her a new perspective on what’s possible when passion meets purpose. Fast forward a few years and through a twist of fate and commitment to having a deeper impact, she meet Jack; initially connected through her support of Opblue. What started as a chance encounter has since grown into a shared mission. Today, Fallon is a driving force behind Opblue, dedicating her heart and energy to creating lasting impact for the children and communities we support.
Fallon started OpEducation to sponsor children and provide them with access to learning. It was through this work that she saw a critical need for OpHealth, a program ensuring children receive two meals a day; meals they would otherwise go without. Alongside these initiatives, Fallon manages Opblue’s corporate partnerships and events, helping to connect people and organisations with our mission.
Through her business, Fallon & Co., she supports Australian businesses while channeling a portion of profits to Opblue. For Fallon, working with Opblue is about turning compassion into action, creating lasting impact, and throwing her whole heart into something that truly matters.
William Muchiru.
Kenya Regional Coordinator.
-
William is our Kenya Regional Coordinator, living and breathing the work of Opblue on the ground, where he experiences the life-changing impact firsthand. Growing up in Kenya, William was once without education or readily accessible food and clean water. He counts his blessings that from a young age he was able to attend Huruma Children’s home, where he could then enjoy an education, shelter, food and clean water. It was a safe place for him to simply be a child and have the opportunity to learn and grow - a basic human right denied to far too many around him.
Today, William channels that passion into his work with Opblue, and has become a vital member of our team. Having studied special needs education at Mount Kenya university, and being an Interact Representative in the Thika Region, teaching and mentoring high school students, as well as working closely with individuals with disabilities. William is dedicated to ensuring children receive the same access to education as he did.
William met Jack back when Jack first visited Kenya, and from there, a lifelong friendship and shared passion was formed in the foundation of Opblue.
