Lead 2030 – Opportunity for Alumni with household water projects!

Lead2030 is a project of One Young World, a UK based not-for-profit and the organisers of the annual One Young World Summit. The Summit convenes the brightest young talent from every country and sector, working to accelerate social impact.

Delegates from 190+ countries are counselled by influential political, business and humanitarian leaders such as Justin Trudeau, Paul Polman and Meghan Markle, amongst many other global figures.

Besides the Summit, One Young World operate a variety of programmes to support and develop youth leadership year around. One of these is Lead2030, the signature programme for the SDGs. Lead2030 is, in essence, an innovation award for young leaders behind solutions for the SDGs. Winning Lead2030 solutions receive $50,000 in cash funding and a 12 month package of mentorship and pro-bono support from one of our corporate partners.
