Organisation Description: WaterAid is an international non-profit with one goal: to change the world through water. Along with decent toilets and good hygiene, a reliable supply of clean water is essential for health, dignity and a life full of opportunity. We work alongside communities worldwide setting up entire systems that deliver clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene for millions. And we get the people, policies and money in place to keep these systems working – and the water flowing for good.
Description of role: Almost one in 10 people still don’t have clean water close to home. The biggest reason for this isn’t technological – it’s political. That’s why we’re launching the WaterAid Campaigner Programme, to equip and empower campaigners to use your voices to help transform the world through water. We’re now recruiting our first cohort of volunteer campaigners.
During your six-month campaigner training, you’ll receive dedicated support to build your skills across campaigning, advocacy and media. You will carry out a range of both online and in-person campaigning and advocacy actions and have the opportunity to take part in high-profile events and action days.
This role is a great opportunity for anyone wanting to build skills in campaigning and advocacy within the international development sector. As a WaterAid Campaigner, you will also become part of the WaterAid Campaigner Network, rallying public and political support for ending the global WASH crisis. If you believe there must be global action on water, join us now!
