Are you passionate about investing in future and seeing youth make a difference in the lives of those around them?
Lifewater International has been partnering with the Development and Social Service Commission (DASSC) of the Ethiopian Church Mekane Yesus since 2005 and began work in the southern Borena Zone in 2009. That program, completed in 2014, benefited over 50,000 people. Lifewater and DASSC have now begun a new project to leverage the work already completed and the behavior change which has begun by spreading into neighboring communities where they still do not have access to safe water and where many still lack access to adequate sanitation.
A team of 3-4 qualified volunteers will travel with 1 Lifewater staff member to Ethiopia to train 20 DASSC staff and school teachers Lifewater's water, sanitation, and hygiene curriculum designed for rural primary schools.
You will be notified no later than September 18th if you have been selected for this trip.
Note: The trip cost does not include international airfare or visa but does include all on the ground costs such as lodging, food, and transportation.
