Our Youth Projects Don’t End — They Evolve
At WAVE, impact doesn’t stop — it grows.
When a YEP for Change project ends, founders can pass it on to a new youth core team through AMP for Change (Adopt My Project), mentoring them as they bring the next edition to life.
This way, every generation of changemakers supports the next.
Our clean-water initiative, BLU, has already launched two editions and is now preparing for BLU III (2026) — led by new youth and guided by its original founders.
You can create your own project through YEP for Change, adopt an existing initiative through AMP for Change, or join a themed challenge that interests you through our short-term ACT for Change programs — and keep the impact growing.
Student Projects
About Family Circle
Family Circle
Family Circle brought together 21 families affected by breast cancer for a weekend of connection, recreation, and support.
The youth-led overnight camp strengthened family bonds through organized activities and games, created space for shared reflection, and offered guidance from professionals — bringing families together and foster community well-being.
About BLU
BLU - Kayak For A Cause
What began as a student idea to protect the Nile grew into a youth-led movement for clean water.
Through two editions of the BLU Kayak Relay Race, students raised awareness about water scarcity and took real action — funding 12 boats for the VeryNile Clean-Up Initiative in the first edition, and connecting 200 families in Upper Egypt to clean water in the second.
UNICEF featured the project for its powerful model of youth-led collaboration and community impact.
