in Fellowships
December 9th, 2011

The CWS Fellowship Program is a three-week water education and leadership training experience in Northern Region Ghana. The purpose of the program is to teach individuals about the global water crisis, and inspire them to become leaders in the field of international development.

Fellows are grouped in teams of four and paired with a rural community in Northern Region Ghana. On the ground, teams are first trained in water quality testing, and the CWS water treatment methods. They then spend two and half weeks in the field implementing and monitoring a CWS water business in their village. By the end of the 3 week program, each team will have provided a permanent source of safe drinking water for an entire community (approx. 500-1,000 people)!

This spring we are offering, for the first time, a Fellowship Program for young professionals and December graduates looking to gain fieldwork experience in developing countries. This 3-week fellowship session which will take place from April 2nd to April 23rd. Applications are due December 12th at 5pm EST.
