AquayaLEARN: Leading an Empowered African Research Network

AquayaLEARN was launched in 2014 to support African students in tackling the water and sanitation challenges facing their continent. The project addresses the need for safe, sustainable, and equitable water and sanitation in Africa by strengthening local research and data-based decision-making capacity to address this need directly.

Through a combination of seminars and hands-on field experience, AquayaLEARN allows African students and young professionals to collaborate with leading researchers dedicated to safe drinking water and improved sanitation in low-income countries.

“A three-month [fellowship] with Aquaya will transform the way you think and the way you view water and sanitation issues in Sub-Saharan Africa.”
