YSC presents sanitation in a creative way to attract the attention of the community, especially the younger generation. When receiving the award, Iffah Rachmi said that this initiative is the first step for YSC to continue working so that water sanitation becomes mainstream in people's lives.

The Kyoto World Water Grand Prize recognizes grassroots organizations that make significant contributions to solving water problems in developing countries.
