The objective of the CREATE in Water and Sanitation for Low-resource Contexts is to upskill the next generation of HQPs within a interdisciplinary immersive and experiential training environment to acquire the necessary competencies to co-engineer fit-for-purpose solutions to multifaceted problems set in low resource contexts. In doing so, we will collaboratively research solutions for sustainable water and sanitation services to improve livelihoods for the poorest and most marginalised members of our community both domestically and globally. This will result in HQP trained in a suite of technical and professional skills in high demand in the Canadian environmental sector. This CREATE program will consolidate expertise in water and sanitation for low-resource contexts that is currently dispersed across 8 Canadian universities (UVic, UBC, SFU, Western, Guelph, Toronto, Carleton, and Laval). Participating institutions have made substantial financial contributions (37 % of total) to this CREATE. This program will train the next generation of engineers and scientists to have the knowledge (heads), skills (hands), and mindset (hearts) needed to tackle water and sanitation challenges which is one of greatest issues of historic and global inequity.

低资源环境下的水和卫生设施的目标是在跨学科的沉浸式和体验式培训环境中提高下一代HQP的技能，以获得必要的能力，共同设计适合目的的解决方案，以解决低资源环境下的多方面问题。在此过程中，我们将合作研究可持续水和卫生服务的解决方案，以改善国内和全球最贫困和最边缘化的社区成员的生计。这将导致HQP在加拿大环境部门的高需求的一套技术和专业技能的培训。该CREATE计划将巩固目前分散在8所加拿大大学（UVic，UBC，SFU，Western，圭尔夫，多伦多，卡尔顿和拉瓦尔）的低资源环境中的水和卫生专业知识。参与机构为该基金提供了大量财政捐助（占总数的37%）。该计划将培养下一代工程师和科学家，使他们具备应对水和卫生挑战所需的知识（头脑），技能（双手）和心态（心灵），这是历史和全球不平等的最大问题之一。
