Water for People works to bring safe drinking water and sanitation to South America, India, and East Africa. Eleanor discusses how the company works with local governments to create a sustainable system.<\/li>\n<li>Eleanor left her corporate engineering job three years ago to switch to nonprofit with Water for People. She talked about the rewarding aspects of her job by giving examples of human impact.<\/li>\n<li>With an extensive background in both sustainable engineering and business, Eleanor translates her wealth of knowledge into her position as CEO.<\/li>\n<li>Eleanor is particularly passionate about opportunities for women and girls, who are more directly involved with water in these countries. She works to help these women and girls gain leadership positions in their communities, as she has experience working in a field historically dominated by men.<\/li>\n<li><em>Today&#8217;s show is sponsored by PathwayU, the science behind education and careers that fit.
