ENGAGED THINKING
 

Our first cohort of mentees (2023) were a diverse group of young WASH professionals or students, hailing from 12 countries and collectively speaking more than 15 languages.

Our first cohort of mentors (2023) were all senior women professionals with experience in the water, sanitation, and/or hygiene (WASH) sectors. They brought a diversity of experiences, skills, and languages to help our mentees through the program.

The Women in WASH Mentorship Program will have an online format, and it is free of charge. It is hosted on the PushFar platform.

For the second phase (2024), we expect to have a maximum of 150 participants — approx. 50 mentors and 100 mentees — and each mentor will typically co-mentor two mentees.

The mentoring relationship is expected to last for 6 months (April – September 2024); though, engagement between mentors and mentees can of course continue beyond the 6 months if both parties agree.
