Website Manager Jobs Opportunity in Uganda

The Water Trust (TWT) is an international NGO combatting disease and poverty in the developing world with investments in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). Currently our geographic focus is Masindi District in Western Uganda. Our WASH model concentrates on shallow hand dug wells and boreholes with a complementary sanitation and hygiene program. Additionally, we implement a WASH in Schools program at local elementary schools.

The need is most certainly there - 780 million people do not have access to clean water and over a billion people do not have access to a toilet.
