Youth4Water Grants – Application Form
The Youth4Water Grants program supports youth-led, community-driven water solutions across Africa and South Asia (India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka).
Through this joint initiative, Protectol Health and the UNCCD Youth Caucus (United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification Youth Caucus) aim to empower young leaders to take action on water access, drought resilience, and sustainable community development.
Selected projects will receive small grants (USD 2,000–2,500) along with visibility and communications support. In this pilot round, four projects (two in Africa, two in South Asia) will be supported, with outcomes showcased at the UNCCD COP17 in Mongolia (August 2026).
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until March 2026 or until all four projects are selected.
