• Knowledge and understanding of development issues, WASH and Human Rights.

• Experience of working in a communication and/or media role for an international organization.

We’re looking for people who share a commitment to our vision. We’re looking for people with an appreciation and respect for different people and ideas, and the energy and expertise to help tackle the most important challenges.
