MINUSMA meets university students of Bamako

This programme offers young entrepreneurs from low and middle income countries a support package that includes training, mentorship and seed funding opportunities to turn their water/sanitation initiative in a social business.

The 2019 Young Water Fellowship Programme will give 10 young ‘’fellows’’ the possibility to participate in a one-month start-up training in Europe. Fellows will also be assigned mentors, get the chance to exponentially increase their supporting networks in the water and entrepreneurship sectors, and apply for seed-funding for the first steps of implementation of their social enterprises. The 2019 edition is organized by Young Water Solutions and supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.

 

The deadline to apply is March 24th 2019 midnight CET time
