Mentor

A great Mentorship or short-term Expert Advising Experience is now available to you! Young Water solutions (a WASH NGO based in Brussels) is giving you the opportunity to support young social entrepreneurs, from low and middle-income countries, providing solutions to water and sanitation challenges in their own communities.

Young Water Solution empowers these outstanding young community leaders with financial and technical support to launch their social business initiatives through its flagship program, the Young Water Fellowship. This program provides training, mentorship and seed funding to young water entrepreneurs. After attending a 5-weeks start-up training programme, Fellows are matched with at least one mentor each and receive up to €5000 as a seed funding grant for the piloting phase of their social businesses.

Guidance is key to ensure solid first steps in water entrepreneurship process. Your role, as a Mentor or short-term Expert Advisor, will be to guide the Fellow and provide him/her with specific advice during the pilot phase of the social business. Thanks to this experience, you will also enhance your guidance and facilitation skills.
