Join this hands-on internship and help low-income Indigenous communities access clean drinking water through education and infrastructure projects. THE CHALLENGE Safe drinking water is a human right, yet nearby communities face contamination, deforestation, and poor storage and filtration. Many rely on open streams carrying soil and chemicals from uphill farming. With no filtration and little storage, gastrointestinal issues are common, and water shut-offs occur during summer or pipe breaks. THE SOLUTION Addressing this water crisis requires a comprehensive approach—from public health initiatives to domestic filtration, reforestation, and infrastructure improvements. With the guidance of our experienced team, you’ll engage with the local community to identify and implement sustainable solutions that ensure long-term access to clean, secure drinking water. OUR METHODOLOGY Our internships use Design Thinking to co-create solutions with local partners. You’ll learn to observe, ideate, and prototype in real contexts, building skills while driving sustainable change. On weekends—or before and after your stay—you can explore Ecuador, from the Amazon to the Galápagos.

Water is a scarce resource in Lobitos. Not only do many residents lack access to toilets, but Lobitos also lacks a sanitation network, which previously collapsed, leaving open drainage points exposed. We need hard-working volunteer interns with a strong interest in and/or background knowledge of water management and sanitation to come and support us in our ongoing projects in northern Peru: Water treatment: Interns can get involved with the research and construction of water treatment initiatives and technologies like solar distillers, biodigesters, and hydroponic vetiver pontoons. Dry toilet: At the EcoSwell house, we use our dry toilet on a daily basis. Interns will be required to make improvements to the current design of our dry toilet or develop and initiate the expansion of more public dry toilets in the community. Groundwater: Volunteer interns will also get involved with our ongoing groundwater research for community use in Lobitos, as well as plan, design, test, and implement potential applications. EcoSwell is a surfing-inspired sustainable development nonprofit driving the development of poor Peruvian coastal communities through a path of sustainability.
