Young Water Fellowship: our editions in Senegal, Uganda, Latam and Bangladesh are coming to an end
We are concluding 4 of our programmes at the end of this year: YWF Bangladesh 2021, YWF Senegal 2021, YWF Uganda 2021, and YWF Latam 2022. To conclude each programme, we host "pitching nights" for the fellows to present the results of their start-ups to major stakeholders.

First Young Water Fellowship’s edition in Asia!

Inequalities between the richest and poorest are particularly high as highlighted by the estimated ratio for overall WASH services, which was 4:9 in 2019 (JMP 2020).
