Our Impact
Wavemakers United inspires youth to take action on water. We do this in three ways:Â
- By raising awareness through education and sports. Our goal is to give 1 million youngsters a year a guest lecture on water
- By promoting global collaboration through our capacity-building programÂ
- And by supporting new student-initiated innovations
The Succes of the Gamechanger Challenge
The UN2023 Gamechanger challenge was a great success, during which 200 universities around the world joined. Over a thousand students from 62 different nationalities worked on innovative ideas, offered guest lectures to their local community, and contributed to solving the global water challenges.
'Wavemakers United is a global impact community with a passion for water innovation'
Water challenges affect us all: our safety, our health, and our future. The solution: new talent with innovative ideas and out-of-the-box perspectives to strengthen all organizations involved.Â
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.
