As we enter the observance of Holy Week—a time for reflection, renewal, and purpose—we are reminded of the importance of creating spaces where more voices can be heard and supported.

In this spirit, PYWP is extending the application period for the Women for Water: IWA Membership Grants for Filipina Young Water Professionals.

We hope to reach and encourage more women—especially from Visayas and Mindanao, as well as Filipina water professionals based overseas—to take part in this opportunity.

This initiative aims to connect emerging Filipina professionals to the global water community, opening doors to learning, collaboration, and growth.

If you’ve been meaning to apply, or know someone who should, we gently encourage you to take this step.

🗓 Extended deadline: April 10, 2026 (Friday)

Across the water sector, women contribute in countless ways: designing treatment systems, conducting research, managing utilities, working with communities, and advocating for equitable access to water and sanitation. Yet many early-career professionals still face challenges accessing networks, mentorship, and opportunities that can help them grow.

Today, the Philippine Young Water Professionals (PYWP) is proud to launch an initiative that seeks to support the next generation of women in water.

In celebration of both 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 and 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐲, and through the generosity of our sponsors, the Philippine Young Water Professionals (PYWP) will award 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐞-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 to the 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (IWA) for emerging female professionals in the water sector.

These memberships will connect recipients to the global IWA community, providing access to knowledge resources, professional networks, and opportunities for learning and collaboration within the international water sector.

The program will support five emerging Filipina professionals representing:

Metro Manila
Luzon
Visayas
Mindanao
a Filipina YWP based overseas

We invite passionate early-career women from both traditional and non-traditional career paths — including utilities, industry, academia, consulting, communications, community WASH initiatives, grassroots organizations, advocacy groups, and volunteer networks.

Because supporting women in water means strengthening the future of water itself.

One could say 2026 is a special year, as the month of March celebrates women through both International Women’s Day and World Water Day.

These two observances complement each other in powerful ways. The International Women’s Day theme, 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔. 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒆. 𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏. 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝑾𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑮𝒊𝒓𝒍𝒔, calls for dismantling the barriers that prevent women and girls from reaching their full potential. Meanwhile, World Water Day highlights a very tangible pathway toward equality: 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿.

Access to safe, reliable water is not only a matter of infrastructure. It is a foundation for dignity, opportunity, and empowerment for women and girls around the world.

At PYWP, we believe that advancing gender equality in the water sector also means supporting the women who work within it. Tomorrow, we are proud to launch an initiative that reflects this commitment.
