World Youth Parliament for Water (WYPfW)
The World Youth Parliament for Water is committed to the global improvement of water and sanitation issues. Our three primary objectives – awareness, advocacy and projects – are the core around which we organise our members. Beyond our foundational aims, our decentralised organisational structure allows for the inclusive involvement of our members to pursue the water-related issues that matter to them. As a result, our work is diverse and dynamic, covering all the indicators of SDG 6, and having a focus on youth engagement and leadership.
