Students will experience a range of sessions taught by high-caliber content experts, as well as mentors from prestigious world universities. In a small group setting, students will learn relevant knowledge, complete research, discuss with teammates, write a consulting report and finally present it to Keru’s client. Our client will be an NGO/NPO or social enterprise.
This impactful work will demonstrate that the students are in the process of solving a REAL problem by providing a REAL solution to our clients. Our students not only have a real demonstration of their knowledge but also new skillset to present to themselves, as well as university admission teams. It is a capstone project like no other!

ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
Analyzing data is a crucial step in identifying where to focus resources and attention. While the UN SDG framework exists as a guidepost, most grassroots organizations do not have quality information on the holistic issue they are tackling. This project aims to generate insights and highlight trends of importance on social issues by drawing from online and public data sources using big data and data analytical methods.

ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
Despite incredible advances in LGBT equality, many LGBT people and their families still face discrimination based on who they are or whom they love. People who are or who are perceived to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) often experience harassment and bullying in society. This clearly shows that there is still much to be done in the effort to attain universal rights for LGBT communities worldwide. Develop an understanding of how LGBT people rights are greatly affected in different countries and learn how to research and analyze ways that could potentially bring a positive social impact in these communities.

ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
Contaminated drinking water is a serious problem that endangers the health of millions of students in rural China. In 2014, Siyuan Water, a social enterprise, created and launched a social program to address this issue in Fujian province. Since then, the program has expanded to other regions of China. However, there is increasing recognition that clean water is a global issue and will require data and collective action to solve.
Students will develop an understanding of how water supplies are managed, secured and protected in your region and create a report to spread best practices and increase knowledge.

6: Clean Water and Sanitation
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
There's a big difference in quality of life and living conditions in cities compared to rural areas. When it comes to water, there's actually very little wastewater infrastructure in rural areas while the amount of wastewater produced in rural China is significant. It is said that more than 100 million rural Chinese drank polluted water in 2010. It's also reported that water pollution has been estimated to cost the Chinese economy 3.1 percent of GDP.
To tackle this problem, Siyuan wants to engage a Keru team to explore successful existing wastewater management practices in China and around the globe, and determine a potential research plan that could be implemented in Siyuan’s site locations in Summer 2021.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Gain insights into water basics and wastewater management worldwide
- Present to the local partner a wastewater management research report that provides data support for the field research in 2021 summer
- Improve their communication skills and teamwork ability throughout the program
