Dispenser for Safe Water Programme
Vacancy Positions: Community Service Assistants
Dispensers for Safe Water (DSW ) is a growing entrepreneurial program within IPA working to reduce the 1.6 million childhood deaths each year from diarrhoea, a leading cause of child mortality in Kenya and globally.
The programme is doing this by deploying Chlorine Dispensers—a simple, low-cost innovation proven to dramatically increase rates of household water treatment, which significantly reduces diarrhoea and other waterborne disease.
Chlorine Dispensers have been recognised by a wide network of supporters, including the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Local Government, Lake Victoria North Water Services Board and major international foundations and implementers.
Kenya is DSW’s flagship programme that has transitioned from a proof-of-concept stage to large-scale implementation with a team of about 100 field staff in Kenya, serving around 600,000 people with access to safe water.
For these positions, we are seeking people who are motivated by the opportunity to offer their services to a programme with proven impact, potential to improve the health of millions and save thousands of lives.
All eligible candidates from the private, public and non-profit sectors who are interested in making a long-term commitment to a truly influential programme are encouraged to apply.
