About Us

The Youth4Water Plus Campaign is a youth-led initiative was launched in 2019 in Odisha. It focuses on engaging young people in activities related to water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH), and climate change. The campaign works in collaboration with the Government of Odisha, UN agencies, civil society organizations, and corporate partners. With support from over 40 partner organizations, it has reached more than 500,000 young people through media reach. These efforts aim to empower youth on WASH and climate change and environment sustainability. 

Our Mission

Youth4Water Plus is dedicated to transforming young individuals into Climate and WASH Change Makers. Through our interactive Climate and WASH Guardian training modules, entrepreneurship assistance, innovation challenges, and youth-led awareness campaigns, we inspire young people to take meaningful action in their communities.

Our Reach & Impact


The campaign has actively participated in several prestigious global forums, including the UN Water Conference, Local Conference of Youth (LCOY), Regional Conference of Youth (RCOY), FAO Conference, COP 28 in 2023 and COP in 2024 in Azerbaijan. These platforms have strengthened our commitment to advocating for sustainable water management, sanitation, and climate resilience.  


In 2024, we have entered a new and ambitious phase, aiming to connect with youth in every district of Odisha. Our programs are designed to be multifaceted and multisectoral, ensuring collaboration across various sectors to maximize impact. Together, we are building a generation of young leaders committed to a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future for Odisha and beyond. Join us in making a difference.
