The Water Air Food Awards (WAFA) recognize and empower grassroots initiatives that make a lifesaving impact in addressing global challenges related to water, air, and food security. The awards inspire and support practical, community-based solutions that promote sustainability and improve lives around the world.

We are committed to complete transparency in all our projects. Our work is made possible by the generous support of sponsors, patrons, and volunteers around the world who contribute their time, talents, and financial resources. Each year, we select one “Silent Hero” from each of our award categories—Water, Air, Food, and Youth. These winners will receive full support from WAFA to help them achieve their goals, including funding, coaching, workshops, and mentorship from industry leaders and experts.
