Women on the Frontlines: Serving communities across borders

Young people play a vital role as volunteers and leaders of philanthropic initiatives worldwide. Programmes such as the IWA & Grundfos Youth Action for SGD 6 Fellowship, Engineers without Borders, Peace Corps, CorpsAfrica and Young Expert Program create opportunities for youth to actively contribute their ideas, skills and expertise in service of communities across the globe.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, this webinar will celebrate the stories and experiences of remarkable women serving as volunteers and professionals in various contexts, with a particular focus on the water and sanitation sector. The speakers will reflect on their work in the field, the challenges they have faced -including any gender-specific barriers and how they have overcome them – and the personal and professional rewards of their contribution.
