Support Proven Solutions: Youth Climate Award 2022

Dear WAFA Donors and Supporters,

We at WAFA are grateful for your continued support.

It means a lot to us that you contribute to our cause. The donations we have received have been used to implement our strategic plan to strengthen our long-term goals.

In the current climate, we are looking for young talents and helping them promote their low-tech solutions. In addition, we want to be transparent and use a portion of the donations to investigate the impact of the WAFA Awards on communities that have previously won the award. We will, however, continue to use some funds for objectives like researching and awards, recognition events, and social media promotion.

One of the WAFA missions is to identify and promote sustainable youth in the areas of water, air and food worldwide. We hope to receive more donations for this project in 2022. We appreciate your support with any of our projects to continue to shine a light on individuals and communities that solve the world's environmental problems.

With your help, the mission becomes a reality! WAFA had a challenging year keeping up, but we worked hard and are ready to share our 2021 achievements with you.
