The IWSH (International Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Foundation) Scholarship Essay Contest is an annual competition that aims to acquaint students with the crucial importance the plumbing industry plays in everyday lives. Students are invited to write essays on topics related to water access, safe sanitation, and plumbing infrastructure.
