Announcing the Young Changemakers Cohort of the Duke-UNICEF Innovation Accelerator
Foundation: Changemakers
For more than 50 years, UNICEF has been helping children around the world.
Now, it's teaming up with Duke University to help a new batch of young people tackle some of the world's "most pressing challenges," per a press release.
The six social enterprises selected for the third cohort of the Duke-UNICEF Innovation Accelerator's Young Changemakers program include Abundant Water, which produces low-cost ceramic water filters for homes, schools, and health clinics in Vanuatu; Te Maeu, which developed the Island Compact Toilet with integrated shower and handwashing in Kiribati; Kitchen Concepts, which runs small water drinking plants in Myanmar; and Serve Vanuatu, which produces organic biodegradable sanitary pads and advocates for products to be freely available in offices and schools, donate a portion of products, and are starting to work on programs to raise awareness and reduce stigma.
"Endemic water-borne diseases continue to contribute to the region's health burdens, and in rural and remote areas these challenges are manifold, impacting all stages and areas of life," says Emily Glazebrook, program supervisor for Abundant Water.
"Urgent action is needed to overcome this global WASH crisis, as it affects all countries around the world socially, economically, and environmentally," she adds, per Duke Today.
