What if we listened to children when reimagining water? 💧

Since joining the 1MAP Postcard Initiative, we have collected thousands of postcards from our guest lectures worldwide, showing the dreams and ideas children have about water. The pictures are more than art—they are voices, ideas, and hope.

The 1MAP (1 Million Postcard) Initiative was born out of the UN2023 Gamechanger Challenge by students at the University of Balamand in Lebanon.

We are proud to be part of this movement, one postcard at a time.

Because every drawing tells a story, and every story can spark change. 💙

Water is essential—but not guaranteed for all.

Happy World Water Day 💧

A global moment to recognise the importance of freshwater and advocate for the sustainable management of this vital resource.

On this occasion, several members of our global Wavemakers network will be delivering guest lectures on water—sharing their expertise and experiences across different contexts.

Today is also a reminder that access to safe water is not guaranteed for everyone, especially in times of crisis.

We are pleased to announce that on the first week of April Dr. Yasmine Jabali from the University of Balamand in Lebanon will be hosting an online masterclass on water in emergency settings. Despite the challenging situation in the Middle East and the ongoing impacts of conflict, this session will focus on exchanging knowledge and experiences, fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration across sectors, and engaging professionals working in the water field.

It reinforces our collective commitment to ensuring safe and sustainable water access for all—even in times of crisis.

Stay tuned, more info will follow!



*Dr. Yasmine Jabali is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Balamand in Lebanon and the initiator of the 1MAP postcard initiative.

💧 Kicking off our World Water Day campaign!

Our Innovation Manager, Meinke van Oenen, gave an inspiring guest lecture to students in Enschede 🇳🇱 diving into her work on SDG6 and raising awareness about water pollution (SDG14).

What stood out? Many students didn’t yet realise the challenges around water quality in the Netherlands.

And this is just the beginning… more lectures coming this week!

Our goal: reach 1 million youngsters with water education by 2030 🌍

💥 Happy 2026! A year that marks our 10-year anniversary!

A decade of learning, listening, and working together across borders to address one of the world’s most urgent challenges: water.

A special ’s message from Founder & Managing Director, Tilly Stroo:

“When we wish each other a healthy and safe New Year, we often don’t realise how crucial water is to both. Health. Safety. Prosperity, They all begin with water.

For me, 2026 is a very special and emotional year. It is a year of working with a new generation of leaders and academics from around the world and the year I step down as Director, passing Wavemakers United to the next generation. As we celebrate 10 years, it feels like the right moment to hand over the baton.

A heartfelt thanks to our sponsors, partners, athletes, and Wavemakers from across the globe. You made the past 10 years possible! 🙏 “

— Tilly Stroo, Founder of Wavemakers United

With starting today, we realise how much and how little can change in three years, when we as Wavemakers attended the COP last. People and positions shift, but the urgency of our climate goals remains.

Back then, we spoke with leaders about actions beyond the so called ‘blue-zones’, where all the decisions are made during (Climate) Conferences — And we called it ‘Out of the Blue’.

At the time, etten, then Minister for Climate, shared a vision of teamwork and collaboration. Now, with his party’s election victory and the prospect of new leadership for the Netherlands, there’s renewed optimism that words can turn into meaningful progress.

As COP30 begins today, let’s turn ambition into action and approach the climate goals like the Olympic Games; urgency, technology, clear goals and measurable results. And only through teamwork and shared effort can we make the next three years count.

Let’s get the action going zones!
