charity: water is a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.

Most of us have never really been thirsty. We’ve never had to leave our houses and walk five miles to fetch water. We simply turn on the tap, and water comes out. Clean. Yet there are 800 million people on the planet who don’t have clean water.

It’s hard to imagine what 800 million people looks like really, but one in nine might be easier. One in nine people in our world doesn’t have access to the most basic of human needs. Something we can’t imagine going 12 hours without.

charity: water is seeking passionate, articulate interns who are ready to change the world. They have five main categories in corporate partnerships, program finance, special projects, accounting and finance, and faith partnerships. All internships are unpaid (though course accreditation with the university is possible) and located in New York City, though the start and end dates vary slightly between positions. The organization is also currently hiring full-time employees, so check out this page if you’re interested in a career with charity: water.
