Grassroots action is a powerful driver of menstrual justice. But how do we turn community-led initiatives, lived experiences and local advocacy into policy change, stronger accountability and sustained investment?

Join us for a 2-hour conversation exploring how grassroots movements are shaping menstrual health advocacy, what we can learn from their experiences, and how donors, faith leaders, researchers and other stakeholders can support lasting change.

Let’s connect, share lessons and strengthen collective action towards advancing #MenstrualJusticeForAll

Sustainable WASH needs more than aid. It needs innovation, investment and action.

Through #SoapForChange, we’re turning this thinking into practical action by mobilising soap to promote hand hygiene and healthier communities.

Support the drive. Be part of the change.

[Youth WASH Ambassadors Club @YouthWASHZM]

The YWAC Executive convened for a strategic leadership meeting to review organisational priorities, strengthen institutional processes and advance opportunities for meaningful youth engagement in WASH.

We are proud to have our members serving as Adjudicators at the 2026 Junior Engineers, Technicians and Scientists (JETS).

The platform promotes innovation and problem-solving—key to developing practical solutions for the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector.

Prevention starts with action.
Kunda Malama reminds us that stronger WASH systems require better coordination, investment and accountability.

Through #SoapForChange, we’re turning that call into action—one bar of soap at a time. 🧼
Support the drive. Be part of prevention.

[Youth WASH Ambassadors Club @YouthWASHZM]

We don’t just talk about Zambia’s WASH challenges. We organise, innovate and act. As Kumbuso Phiri says, investing in young people means investing in solutions.

Now, we’re putting action behind the words through #SoapForChange. 🧼

Donate soap. Support the drive.

[Youth WASH Ambassadors Club @YouthWASHZM]

Our #SoapForChange drive is now on. You can support with as little as K20 (≈ US$1.05) or donate one bar of soap to help expand access to hand hygiene in our communities.

Invest in Clean Hands. Invest in Health.

Lakes do more than hold water. They support life, livelihoods, biodiversity and the balance of our planet.

This World Lake Day, let’s value the waters that sustain our communities and take action to protect them from pollution, waste and climate change.

#WorldLakeDay

[John Chipango @JohnChipangojnr]

As the world discusses “Water for People and Progress” this World Water Week, I find myself thinking about Zambia and the water systems we depend on every day.

With a strong El Niño developing, how prepared are we for what could come? From Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), to electricity, public health and our communities, the lessons of 2023 and 2024 should not be forgotten.

We have been warned. Are we having enough conversations, and more importantly, are we preparing?

The warning is here, are we ready?

Today, we joined #WASH stakeholders at the Ministry of Water Development and Sanitation to strengthen Zambia’s El Niño Preparedness Plan.

Having experienced the devastating impacts of El Niño in 2023–24, strengthening preparedness is critical to protecting water access.

[Youth WASH Ambassadors Club @YouthWASHZM]

Four days in Rwanda reinforced one message from Zambia: young people must be institutionalised as meaningful actors in WASH not reduced to statistics. We advocated for youth-led innovation, financing, partnerships and accountability to accelerate #SDG
6. 💧🇿🇲🇷🇼
