The Job 

At World Vision USA we invite people to positively impact the lives of the world's most vulnerable children through charitable giving. Our recipe includes love of all people, thriftiness, and targeting the root causes of poverty to bring about human transformation and fullness of life. With us every 60 seconds a family gets water, a hungry child is fed, and a family gets the tools to overcome poverty. As WASH Fellow - Data Innovation & AI Solutions  your expertise will be brought to bear on work that is close to the heart of God (in the spirit of Matthew 25:34-40). Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) are at the heart of child well-being and foundational to World Vision’s mission for all children and their communities to experience life in all its fullness.

For more than 35 years, World Vision has been committed to stand in the gap, globally leveraging resources and locally working alongside communities to ensure millions of children around the world have access to clean water, dignified sanitation and healthy hygiene practices. However, there is much work left to be done. As our work enters a new decade with only 5 years remaining on the calendar to achieve the 2030 U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, World Vision must accelerate efforts. We are in the final year of a 5 year Global WASH Business Plan, outlining our commitment to invest $1 billion over the next five years to extend the impact of our work across 42 countries, and looking to lean into innovation – including advanced analytics – in our next 5 year strategy. Develop your skills, explore your interests, and build your international development experience by making a meaningful contribution in helping millions of people. We’re looking for a full-time, 2-year fellow to contribute to our data innovation and AI solutions. Bring your creative, tenacious character and interest in learning to our highly productive WASH team of 18 people that sits within our International Programs Group.

Your Responsibilities Will Include:

Keep Christ central in individual and corporate life. Actively participate in and contribute to the spiritual disciplines of the organization (Christian conduct, chapel, prayer, worship, devotions, and leadership of devotions); incorporate WV Core Values into decisions within scope of role.
Carry out our Christian organization’s mission, vision, and strategies.
Personify the ministry of World Vision by witnessing to Christ and ministering to others through life, deed, word, and sign.
Lead AI and Data-Driven Solutions: You will gain experience designing and implementing AI-driven pilot projects, addressing inefficiencies to enhance WASH programs’ long-term impact and sustainability.
Analyze Data from Remote Sensing & Hydraulic Models: You will collaborate with team members to analyze data from countries to generate insights for water distribution and management.
Build Capacity in AI & Data: You will lead capacity-building workshops for WASH teams, equipping them with the skills and tools to utilize AI and data analytics in their daily operations.
Communicate Project Results: You will contribute to creating reports, visualizations, and presentations that showcase the impact of our WASH work to internal and external stakeholders.
Engage in Mentorship and Professional Development: You will have the opportunity to work with and be mentored by WASH leaders receiving guidance on navigating global development challenges.

You Bring These Skills:

Enthusiasm for Learning: You are curious about AI and related emerging technologies, and excited to explore how they can address challenges in the WASH sector.
Basic Data Skills: You have some experience with basic data analysis tools and are excited to learn more advanced data analysis and visualization techniques.
