Organization:
In today’s world, nearly 1 out of every 3 people in the world lacks access to clean water, and even more people live without safe sanitation options such as toilets or latrines. Billions of people also lack access to basic and life-saving healthcare technologies. Without access to these resources, billions of people around the world face dangerous conditions, disease, and even death.

Design Outreach (DO) exists to solve these global challenges through the development of innovative and appropriate technologies in the Water, Sanitation, Hygiene (WASH) and Global Health sectors. We do this by engineering high-quality technologies that are appropriate for the context and communities in which they are used. As a Christian humanitarian engineering organization, our vision is to see low income and marginalized communities around the world transformed physically, economically, and spiritually. We have seen firsthand the transformation that happens in communities where LifePump, DO’s flagship technology, has been operating for years without failure—evidence that appropriate and reliable technology solutions can break the cycle of poverty and open the door for the Gospel.

Design Outreach is a small team with global impact. At Design Outreach, you will have the opportunity to dive into a diverse set of projects, have high-level ownership of your work, and make a direct impact on our mission. Our team has grown from 5 to over 30 staff members in under three years and continues to expand as we strive to be the global leader in appropriate technology development.

DO’s work environment is highly collaborative. Our staff work alongside, learn from, and influence subject matter experts in the implementation of life-saving appropriate technologies. In the next three years, we plan to deploy seven technologies in the WASH and Global Health sectors. In collaboration with our Gospel partners, our goal is to reach over 1,000 communities with safe water and the Gospel through LifePump.

What will your impact be? We invite you to find your purpose and live out your calling at Design Outreach. Join our team, and work alongside others who are committed to putting their faith into action!
