Youth-led groups working on innovative water and drought-resilience initiatives now have a unique chance to secure support through the Youth4Water Grants Programme, a collaborative effort between Protectol Health and the UNCCD Youth Caucus.
This pilot programme aims to uplift young changemakers who are improving water access, strengthening sanitation systems, and helping communities adapt to increasing water scarcity.
About the Programme
The Youth4Water initiative was created to back practical, community-based water solutions in regions where water insecurity continues to affect livelihoods. The programme focuses on empowering youth leadership and amplifying grassroots action across Africa and South Asia.
Application Timeline
The programme accepts submissions on a rolling basis until March 2026, or until all four grants have been awarded.
However, due to overwhelming interest, the current round will close on 25 October 2025 at 11:59 PM (UAE time). Another round may open next year.
