Description
Fatou M’bow is a water engineer focused on Global South context.
Besides that, she is involved as the African Focal Point of the World Youth Parliament for Water (WYPW) and Co-Founder of the African Youth Parliament for Water.
Growing up in the western world, while constantly visiting her country of origin in the developing world – Senegal – constantly reminded her of a harsh contrast that was actually a reflection of the importance of having a proper infrastructure. This is how her passion for improving Africa developed from a young age; taking responsibility for important problems in the world.
As an optimistic idealist, she is always striving to unlock potential where she can, and she sees potential in the African youth as they are optimists while recognizing that primary needs such as water and sanitation are hindering their nations’ socio-economic productivity. As the African Focal Point of WYPW, she wants to help in providing a platform for them, so they can trust in taking the future of their continent in their own hands to unlock its potential.
