11. 11 Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Raleigh seeks to improve the quality of water and sanitation services to improve the overall health of communities. I’ll be aiding communities to improve access to safe drinking water, and raising awareness about the importance of hygienic practices. This could involve building a clean water source, or running awareness sessions on hand hygiene.

15. 15 Youth Leadership World-wide young people make up almost 50% of the global population. Young people are often particularly vulnerable to the issues caused by poverty. Raleigh aims to inspire young people to take the lead in changing their world, developing young people’s skills and experience so that they can become active citizens. I’ll have the opportunity to lead my group and manage different parts of the project, giving me invaluable leadership experience.
