About us

A community with a passion for water

Wavemakers United is a community of students, young professionals, and athletes with a passion for water. As a youth organization we focus on local challenges while having a global reach. Our aim is to contribute to the UN SDGs and involve as many youngsters as possible.

A Foundation with a passion for water

Wavemakers United is a non profit organization, better known as a foundation. This means that our organization is not aiming to profit from our activities and everything we do revolves around making impact. In 2023 the foundation has been granted the ANBI status.

The “Wave” consortium is shaped as a youth-led ecosystem that works on internal growth and produces tangible external outcomes.

WAVES

Wavemakers United started this journey with a vision to address critical issues surrounding water and sustainability through education, awareness, youth involvement, innovation, job access, advocacy, and enhancing local frameworks. The realization that effective action requires local involvement in communities led to the formation of local consortia, named “Waves”, in various countries. Each “Wave”, eg Wave of Indonesia to others around the world, contributes to the global mission.
