The AWA Project's 2025 Annual Report marks the organization's second comprehensive account of its journey, capturing a year defined by deeper institutional maturity and expanded global reach. Building on the foundation laid in 2024, AWA moved from local action to international influence, deepening its impact across its three strategic pillars: advocacy and representation, empowering community through action, and democratizing access to water information. Highlights from the year include securing special accreditation for the 2026 UN Water Conference as the only youth-led organization from Peru to do so, launching AWA's first on-site field research in partnership with FONDEMAR in Marcona, Ica, and establishing the organization's first Strategic Advisory Board of private-sector leaders. In parallel, AWA grew its volunteer base to 26 members across 14 nationalities, bridged South-to-South collaboration through a partnership with South Asian Young Women in Water, and strengthened its communications output with a 150% increase in blog content. Looking ahead to 2026, the organization is focused on radical implementation, scaling proven models, and arriving at the UN Water Conference not just as a participant, but as a leading voice for water justice.
