India’s Sanitation Crisis
Lack of adequate sanitation is a huge
problem in India. 626 million Indians live
without access to safe sanitation, making
India the country with most people living
without toilets in the world.
This leads to problems spanning health,
economics, human rights, & the environ-
ment
Human Impact
More than 1,000 children die from prevent-
able diarrhoea every day.
Shame and lack of dignity is a constant com-
panion as people are forced to defecate in
full view of others.
Women suffer from reproductive tract infec-
tions due to poor hygiene
Human rights abuses are a common occur-
rence as women are often molested or raped
as they are forced to use isolated locations
for open-defecation.
443 million school days are lost each year
due to water-related diseases.
Economic Impact
India loses approximately USD 53.8 billion
(>6.4% of India’s GDP) due to increased
health costs, productivity losses, and reduced
tourism revenue due to inadequate sanitation
and poor hygiene.
Halving the proportion of those globally
without access to safe drinking water and
adequate sanitation by 2015 is estimated to
result in 272 million more school attendance
days a year.
The value of deaths averted, based on dis-
counted future earnings, would amount to
US$3.6 billion a year.
For every $1 invested in water and sanitation,
$8 is returned in increased productivity.
3.5% of all work time is lost due to sanitation
related

WASH United WASH-United.org
WASH United is an award winning international NGO that pio-
neers the use of the use of sport star ambassadors, interactive
educational games, and innovative campaigning formats to make
toilets & hand-washing hygiene “cool & sexy” and to facilitate
behavior change. WASH United has country programs in India and
8 African countries.
Key partners in our work include Bill & Melinda Gates Founda-
tion, Swiss Agency For Development & Cooperation, GIZ, WSSCC,
Arghyam, WaterAid, FC Bayern Munich, German Foreign Office,
Norwegian Foreign Office, French Foreign Office, FC Bayern
Munich.
WASH United has launched several large sanitation and hygiene
projects such as the Nirmal Bharat Yatra (Great WASH Yatra) and
has received broad international recognition for its success in pro-
moting sanitation and hygiene in India and Africa.

5. WASH Fellowship Program Page 5WASH Fellowship Program Page 5
The Yatra was a particular resonant format because it
built upon all the things Indians are really passionate and
excited about – Bollywood song and dance, popular TV
formats, but above all India’s favorite sport cricket – and
used them to tackle persisting taboos related to sanita-
tion and hygiene and charged these issues with positive
emotions.
The Yatra benefited immensely from having 7 extremely
talented Fellows with diverse backgrounds such as cho-
reography, professional filmmaking, & photography from
India, Germany, the US, & the UK. See details of the Fel-
lowship here: After the immense success of this first
Fellowship program, we are now launching WASH United
Fellows Program Edition 2.
Nirmal Bharat Yatra nirmalbharatyatra.org
WASH United in India recently conducted the Nirmal Bharat Yatra
(The Great WASH Yatra : www.nirmalbharatyatra.org / www.
facebook.com/TheGreatWashYatra), a mega sanitation-themed
carnival that featured unique games, performances, & labs. The
Yatra was a mammoth undertaking traveling 2000 Km across
rural India over 50 days and reached 230 million people with mes-
sages of sanitation and hygiene.
The Nirmal Bharat Yatra had three key goals: 1) promote life-
saving toilet adoption + handwashing with soap behaviour among
at-risk children, youth, & adults; 2) raise awareness about sani-
tation & hygiene amongst rural & urban populations by getting
exciting, positive stories about sanitation and hygiene in mass
media; & 3) advocate for improvements in sanitation and hygiene
IEC programs among key stakeholders in the government, media,
& other sector organizations. .

The WASH United Fellowship
2nd Edition | Mar 2013 onwards
Having just wrapped up the successful Yatra Fel-
lowship with 7 international and Indian fellows
(http://nirmalbharatyatra.org/content/fellowship-
descriptions), WASH United India is launching it’s
second Fellowship Program. The program is now
looking for a talented individual in search of a fun,
challenging, and high profile experience in the
Indian social innovation space.
The program is structured to allow for creative
freedom as well as high impact work that gets
implemented on the field through collaborations
between WASH United and its partner organiza-
tions.
In this Edition, we are inviting Filmmakers, Photog-
raphers, Graphic Designers, and Interactive Data
Designers. This team of Fellows will be central
to WASH United’s communication, advocacy and
awareness raising efforts across a variety of pro-
jects over the next 6-12 months.
If any of this sounds interesting to you please read
on!

8. WASH Fellowship Program Page 8
We are looking for talented filmmakers, photographers,
graphic designers and interactive data designers to join
our team. The positions will be based out of New Delhi,
India.
The Fellowship will start in the summer of 2013 and
will range from 3-12 months based on mutual agree-
ment. The program will cover all living expenses which
include housing, food, internet, and basic utilities such
as water and electricity. Any travel that is a part of the
fellowship will be completely covered as well.
The program also pays for a roundtrip ticket for candi-
dates willing to commit to an engagement of 6 months
or more.
During the Fellowship, Fellows will work on 2-3 projects
specially structured projects. The fellow projects will
centered around the creation of extremely high quality
content for WASH United’s sanitation/hygiene based
advocacy (see below for specific project possibilities)
for 20 days of a month. The fellows are free to use the
remaining time at their discretion.
These projects will be designed carefully so as to bal-
ance WASH United’s strategic objectives and ensuring
creative challenge for the Fellows.

Nirmal Gram Mela
After the success of the Nirmal Bharat Yatra across 6 states, WASH United is
designing new carnivals filled with games & performances that communicate
messages of sanitation and hygiene to specific states within India and to
remote villages.
WASH United will launch these carnivals and journeys in partnership with
Indian states and our partners. Our team of Fellows will be involved in
creating compelling content for this project through film, photography, &
design (of games + communication materials).
Depending on interest, the Fellows will also get the chance to travel
thousands of kilometers across rural India in caravans spreading messages of
hygiene and health.
WASHDog
At WASH United India, we believe that generating demand for sanitation
and hygiene through behavior change communication is hugely important in
addressing India’s growing WASH crisis. In this context, it is shocking that only
about 35% of the budgets allocated to Governments sanitation Information,
Education, and Communication (IEC) campaigns actually gets spent.
As a result, hundreds of millions of people who could have been taught the
benefits of good sanitation and hygiene remain uneducated and trapped in
unsafe WASH behavior leading to myriad adverse health, human rights, and
macro- and micro-economic impacts.
WASH United is launching “WASHDog” as an independent program within
the media and advocacy pillar of our four pillared strategy which also
comprises of content, content delivery, and research/evaluation. Through
this program we hope to positively influence both the quantity and quality of
demand generation and awareness campaigns for WASH that are run by the
Government of India’s Total Sanitation Campaign.
Fellows will play a critical role in the following projects

10. WASH Fellowship Program Page 10
Common Light
Common Light is a non-profit project that partners with photography & film
enthusiasts to capture image & film footage of important social issues. This
footage is then made available under a Creative Commons License for use
by non-profits & media globally to address these social issues. The program
is run through specially curated field trips organized by experts in the sector.
The collected material will then be made available to NGO’s, stakeholders,
and individuals who can’t afford hiring professionals to collect such material.
Field trips have taken place by now in both urban slums and rural
environments. Fellows will have the chance to be part of and give shape to
Common Light field trips, communication materials, & outreach efforts.
Loo Tunes
WASH United is commissioning leading Indian and international musicians
to compose songs for a music repository (to be called Loo Tunes), which will
be used to generate awareness about the sanitation crisis in India & abroad.
The repository is being launched to reach out and create awareness amongst
a growing urban population and to recruit volunteers and to raise support
for sanitation and hygiene innovation within India. The program has already
recruited recognized Indian bands such as Indian Ocean and Rabbi Shergill
and is going to grow exponentially in the next year with more international
acts being signed up.
Our team of Fellows will be involved in creating compelling content for this
project through film, photography, & design. We are envisioning things such
as behind the scenes footage of music recordings, interviews with artists on
the power of music for social change, and creating audio-visual materials
for a viral marketing campaign for this project. Depending on interest, the
Fellows will also get the chance to be involved in the campaign launch in
multiple countries.
Fellows will play a critical role in the following projects

WASH For India - Volunteer Program
Thousands of passionate and motivated individuals across the world look for
an opportunity & get onboard to tackle India’s sanitation crisis. WASH-For-
India will be a mass movement that enrolls Indians, Non-Resident Indians,
students in the US & UK, & international tourists in raising awareness,
enabling behavior change, & raising resources.
Design Lab
The creative heart of WASH United. Multi-disciplinary teams comprising of
game designers, communication designers, behavioral researchers, engineers,
technologists, anthropologists, educators, filmmakers, & photographers work
together to design games, performances, & communication materials.
Fellows can also play a critical role in the following projects
The Poolitzer Prize
Making sanitation and hygiene household topics. Toilets, shit, & poop are
considered “dirty” and “taboo”. They are underreported in media leading to
a lack of political will and overall awareness. WASH United’s Poolitzer Prize
will incentivize more and better coverage of sanitation and hygiene. Tens of
millions more people will be reached out every year through this incremental
coverage.
WASH In Schools Program
Thousands of passionate and motivated individuals across the world look for
an opportunity & get onboard to tackle India’s sanitation crisis. WASH-For-
India will be a mass movement that enrolls Indians, Non-Resident Indians,
students in the US & UK, & international tourists in raising awareness,
enabling behavior change, & raising resources.

Why Apply
High Impact Social Innovation: Fellowship projects that are extremely well designed so as to provide maximum impact and learning
opportunities. The Fellowships will have clear goals or problem statements, adequate resources, mentoring and regular feedback, and a dynamic
working environment.
Access To The Social Innovation Network In Delhi: If one might say that Bangalore or Gurgaon is the “tech hub” of India, then Delhi is
rapidly becoming India’s creative hub for designers, programmers, filmmakers, and social entrepreneurs. This is a wonderful opportunity to
become part of this growing community.
Living In A New City / Country: For those not from Delhi, and especially for those not from India, this Fellowship provides the chance of a
lifetime to live and work in this city, while not having to worry about living expenses and searching for rooms and roommates. You’ll have at least
two other fellows with you through this whole process, too!
Independence To Pursue Interests Outside The Fellowship: We recognize that most of us want to set aside some time to pursue
our interests or just explore a new environment, in addition to planned work. There will be room for such opportunities, we will open all our
networks to the fellows and will provide them with contacts to explore opportunities across sectors.

Wordpress Developer Fellowship
WASH Fellowship Program Page 14
Description: Responsibilities:
Its no secret that the internet is an incredibly powerful tool for
social good. Via the internet, humankind has been quickly filling
in the gaps between people all around the globe, and through
that process of connection we are learning just how much we can
help each other. In that spirit, this fellowship has been designed
for a computer lover, dreamer, and Wordpress expert who has a
strong desire to apply his or her skills to the activation of innova-
tive and high-impact campaigns which will help those who lack
basic human rights like access to a toilet.
Without engaging and visually compelling web presence, the
programs detailed earlier in this brochure will struggle, or fail, to
reach their potential for transforming India’s sanitation and
hygiene crisis. Imagine: through what other medium would we
be able to get soccer moms in the USA to adopt a team in our
slum soccer league? Or to get young professionals to sign up for
our WASH certification service for maids? Or hold the government
accountable to the $450 million it fails to spend on hygiene
education each year?
As the Wordpress Developer Fellow, you’ll join our writers and
graphic designers and innovation experts to ideate, design and
launch websites which will see high amounts of traffic from a
global audience. This is not for the weak of heart.
At first, you’ll need to:
- Understand WASH United’s mission, operating structure, and
most importantly, our target audiences. Some websites will be
geared towards users in India, and others will cater to a more
global audience. Some will be used by WASH sector professionals,
and other by minimally literate users. You’ll need to be an open-
minded fast learner.
- Take part in, and eventually lead, the brainstorming and iterative
processes that will lead to wireframes and website design
- Become familiar with how web design is used in the non-profit
landscape, so as to be aware of which designs come off as
authentic, yet eye-catching
And then, drum roll please,
- You’ll create three to five fully functional program-specific
Wordpress-based websites,
with full content support from the rest of the WASH United India
team
Qualifications and Character:
- A robust Wordpress portfolio, preferably from diverse and/or
challenging environments
- High level of comfort with themes, plugins and widgets
- Great, but not required: fluency in PHP programming, and
strong knowledge in additional coding languages and data and
content management systems(MySQL, XHTML, CSS,
JavaScript/JQuery)
- You must have a sense of adventure, but also the patience to live
in India, where the internet’s speed is sometimes like that of a
tired window shopper, and to work with a start-up social enter-
prise, with only medium-level previous experience in website
development. A sense of humor and a kind, generous attitude
will be essential.

Game Design Fellowship
WASH Fellowship Program Page15
Description: Responsibilities:
Together, how can we revolutionize gaming and gamifica-
tion for social good? That will be the central question of
the Game Design Fellowship. Globally, and certainly in
India, very few, if any organizations in the social sector,
consider games to be a“serious”medium for the promo-
tion of development.
But as recent research and even our own experiments
have shown, games represent a massive opportunity to
influence the way people think, and to encourage
healthier and more socially responsible behaviour. Games,
thus, are at the center of“behaviour change,”a proven
mechanism for alleviating India’s sanitation and hygiene
crisis. For instance, given the sad fact that the Indian
government currently uses seriously outdated campaigns,
mostly centered around painting walls and billboards,
can’t you imagine how much more fun learning about the
importance of toilets and soap and tampons could be if
we gamified those learning experiences?
But its not just basic WASH education that needs to be
gamified. In every project proposal, just as in every meet-
ing of rural politicians, just as in website design, just as in
our own team meetings, you should be the type of person
who sees a“gamifiable”moment. After all, when we were
children, we learned about the world through games. But
just because people think games are only for kids doesn’t
mean they are right. We need someone whose gaming
ideas are seriously out-of-the-box.
To be a successful game designer, we think you
should:
- Have inclinations towards user centered design
- Be young at heart
- Want to make games mean something more than just
a time pass
- Have as few limits to what constitutes your definition
of a game as possible
As a Game Design Fellow, you would take charge of:
- User research to gain valuable knowledge on our
game audiences
- Brainstorming sessions with the WASH team, as well as
other Indian game designers and leading game design
experts worldwide, whom we already have strong con-
nections with (Columbia, Carnegie Mellon, etc.)
- Creating game use manuals for the WASH United India
team to streamline game deployment in our various
programs
- Oversight of the production of games and gamified
experiences across many different platforms, ranging
from simple cell phone games, to the Microsoft Kinect,
to long-term processes where, say, children“level up”
each time they demonstrate good WASH behaviour.
